Re: X-error in get_mouse_position

Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; writes: It's generally a bad idea to use XSync for something else than debugging, because it synchronizes the application with the server itself. XSync will return only when the X server has finished processing all its requests. The consequence is that it can considerably slow down the application, because you'll be blocked waiting for all events to be processed, even those completely unrelated to your problem. When a synchronization problem occurs, it's almost always the application's fault (a lack of consistency checking) and always a bad idea to synchronize with the server. The better solution is to check internally for consistency. Here it means checking that this window still belongs to a frame before enquiring the server about an XPointer information. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
