Yes, I've been doing some debugging too, and in my setup gnome- screensaver is the culprit as well. Specifically it calls gnome_bg_create_pixmap() (from libgnome-desktop) with root == TRUE, which ends up creating a new connection to the X server, calling XSetCloseDownMode() to change to RetainPermanent, and then disconnecting. And in that case the X server keeps the client data structures around forever.
I'm now reading through the gnome-screensaver code to figure out why it calls gnome_bg_create_pixmap() repeatedly. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
