Anybody fondly remember that bug we found in mwm last term where one invocation of xclock with certain
arguments would crash the X server? Well, I'm not sure if it was slated to be corrected for
this release, but whatever may be the
case -- it's still there, and I'm not sure what you want to do. The call:
xclock -g 72x1+0+885 -chime -update 1 -rv &
The part that seemed (and still does) crash the X server is the "-g 72x1"
Of course it's ridiculous to want such a small clock (except for the chime which was my intial intention), but
it still kills the X server in about 30 seconds after it comes up.
I think geometries up to 72x22+0+885 also do this. Uwm has no problem with it.
Just thought I'd remind you of that.
