I've just whittled down a logged in session so that the only X clients were just gnome-session, an xterm and gnome-panel (which stubbornly respawns if I try to kill it). Despite having so few clients, the output of
xrestop -b -m 1 | grep '<unknown>' | wc -l stayed above 200. I'm now running gnome-session from a failsafe xterm client, so that if it happens again I can kill gnome-session and see if that drops the number of unknown client windows. However I'm starting to think there's no fix for this once it's happened and it is just a matter of identifying the culprit process. I will run for a while without gnome- screensaver, but I think that has long since been fixed. chromium is, imho, a more likely candidate. -- apps wont open due to maximum clients reached error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
