Bug#617236: olwm&olvwm: DISPLAY environment variable corrupted
Package: olwm
Version: 3.2p1.4-25.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Prelude:
OK, I know that xview, olwm, olvwm are DEAD... but
I was very happy to see that they now compile on amd64.
(I had earlier lamely tried compiling them myself on this architecture
without much success, nor putting much effort, either.)
However, I loved olvwm and xview, and ALL current GUI developers
should read the Open Look Style Guide, as it clearly explains how a window
manager and GUI system should behave. Lessons that have NOT been learnt.
Even though I loved olvwm, I will probably not use it again much,
or for long, as we have all become dependent on more modern windowing
systems. But perhaps in a spate of some sort of mid-life crisis
I will nostalgically go back to it, and find efficiency and happiness.
Bug:
olwm and olvwm corrupt the environment variable DISPLAY.
If it is set to ":0" as by default on my system,
the window manager resets it to ".0", breaking everything.
If it is set to ":0.0", then everything goes fine.
The problem is in olwm/environ.c and olvwm-4.1/environ.c
My rusty programming experience (that dates from the period when xview
was developed, and before) sees nothing wrong, except:
134c134
< (void)sprintf(value,"%.*s.%d",len,display,screen);
---
> (void)sprintf(value,"%*s.%d",len,display,screen);
I do not understand what "%.*s" means, and I believe that this is a typo.
Removing the "." produces working olwm and olvwm.
Thanks again for getting this to compile under amd64
(the problem was probably in a dependency that was fixed).
Please fix the package before anyone else notices.
Thank you.
Alan
