xemacs crashes on startup

Wilko Keegstra writes: [...] This is a known bug, but why it occurs is unknown. I suspect a bug in the X libraries (which do no sanity checking of arguments at all, and often leave restrictions on those arguments undocumented), but I've never been able to find it, so we have no way to prevent it. Workaround: Customize `progress-feedback-use-echo-area' to `t'. openSUSE is also known to tickle another bug in X (actually in fontconfig). As far as I know, this only actually gets triggered if you do some fancy manipulation of faces, so you probably won't run into it. If you do, there is no known workaround except to avoid that kind of code. However, we do have a way to stop it in trunk, if you need it and you're willing to build your own XEmacs. If you want help with that, let us know. Regards, _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
