Hi,

My problem is still not solved and I have reports from someone that it
also occurs under Solaris 2.5.

The problem is this: When the X server is killed or crashes, fvwm2
as well as FvwmButtons continues to run and both sit there and eat
all CPU time they can get.

I think this is a serious problem and really should be fixed. Apart
from that it is rather annoying for me due to my special X setup which
just kills the X server when logging out and fvwm2 and FvwmButtons
need to be killed manually after logging out.

I've already made two modifications as suggested in this list. I've
changed the DeadPipe routine in module.c like this:

void DeadPipe(int nonsense)
{
  struct stat buf;
  if (fstat(XConnectionNumber(dpy), &buf) == -1) exit(1);
  signal(SIGPIPE, DeadPipe);
}

Likewise I've changed the DeadPipe routine in FvwmButtons.

Well. It does not work. Same problem.

Does anyone know a cure for that? I think fvwm is not ready for version
2.1 before this problem is solved.

Thanks -- Tom
