--- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- I agree. Of course someone needs to write write those tests or perform them manually. :) Effort doesn't appear out of thin air; people work on stuff that they either feel passionate about or are paid to work on. At this point, most of the passion and money that I see are in the direction of Wayland, rightly or wrongly. So if folks want to see more and better maintenance of the X11 session, it will require a similar injection of passion or money. The fact that KWin dying takes your apps is indeed quite unpleasant and makes it not prodution-ready, but you may be happy to hear that it's been an active area of work for over two years. The extended timeframe on this is because it turns out to be extraordinarily difficult to do--as perhaps evidenced by the fact that we never got this for the X11 display server. To this day it still takes all of your apps with it when it crashes or gets killed. Of course you may say that KWin is more likely to crash than Xorg is, and today that's probably true. But I hear horror stories from long-time FOSS users that the X server wasn't always a rock of stability either. :) Things get better over time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
