Hi,
I'm running the latest hg of wmii, and it seems that once in a while it's
causing X to crash on me (mostly during resizing in the floating layer).
This also happened to me when I was using the latest stable release.
The question I have is how would I go about debugging this problem (since it
might be caused by some of changes that I made, or could be just my general
setup)...
Is there some sort of a guide to this? Some flags I could enable, or logs to
go through? Or should I just look up debugging X?
Well, generally the easiest way is to read the virtual files
under /debug. You can also enable console debugging output with
the -D flag (or the debug property of /ctl), i.e., wmii -D
event+ewmh.
Is there a crash or a stack dump? Also, I don't suppose you're
starting wmii in a way that X quits when it does?
