Package: olvwm Version: 4.4.3.2p1.4-25 Severity: important If DISPLAY lacks a screen number (for example, :0 rather than :0.0) then olvwm corrupts it when running a command from the popup menu, preventing the command from connecting to the X server.
For example, with DISPLAY=:0 olvwm will invoke menu commands with DISPLAY=.0 which is invalid. You can reproduce this by adding a menu command in ~/.openwin-menu that invokes a script that writes $DISPLAY to some file. A workaround is to rewrite DISPLAY in ~/.xsession to append .0 if DISPLAY lacks a screen number. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages olvwm depends on: ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1 X11 pixmap library olvwm recommends no packages.
