System name: starfury
Type and version: IP22 0.8F
Display type: UNKNOWN video
What were you trying to do?
zctl hide, then later zctl unhide
What's wrong:
my xterm thinks my $DISPLAY is :0.0, but everything else
(in particular zwgc) thinks it's :0, so zctl tries to hide me
on :0.0, when I'd been visible on :0, and it just doesn't
work, and then when I unhide, I end up visible on both :0 and
:0.0
What should have happened:
Well.... I'm not quite sure. There should be agreement on what
display I'm logged in on. The really weird part is that both
zwgc and xterm seem to be calling DisplayString to get the
name of the display, but they're apparently getting different
answers from it. (zwgc's answer at least seems to agree with
everyone else's though, so I'd guess it's xterm's fault).
