Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xfwm4
Write a little program that produces hundreds of windows. Then try to stop it: you'll find that you cannot. Your mouse and keyboard actions get ignored. Execute this with python. I use the "python-matplotlib" module to make plots simply because that's where I first got burned, and that's an easy way to make lots of windows: sudo aptitude install python-matplotlib python <<ENDEND import pylab for i in range(400): pylab.figure(i+1) pylab.plot([1,2]) pylab.show() ENDEND ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xfwm4 4.8.1-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-9.43-generic 2.6.38.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-9-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jun 4 22:37:58 2011 InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xfwm4 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792929 Title: you cannot stop a program that makes lots of windows -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
