Dear Bug Team!
I just updated from redhat 9.0 to fedora core1, and want to use
xemacs 21.4.14. However, when I want to maximize my xemacs window the system
hangs and I have to use xkill to get rid of it.
There is not much information in here but I've found at least one
other person with this problem on google so I guess it is reasonnably
common.
Thanks for your work,
Vincent

When it does this, is it flickering slightly in the upper right corner?
I've seen something like this when I maximize-full under sawfish, and
the WM tries to make it one size, but XEmacs overrides that with a
slightly smaller size, since it wants to be sized on an even character
cell boundary. The WM then resizes it, and it resizes itself again, and
they sit there and fight over it until you either xkill or restore
xemacs to original size.

Vincent wrote back to me, and says "Yes". So, it's a WM / XEmacs
interaction thing.
Any way XEmacs could just accept the size the WM gives it, and adjust a
border width dynamically?

Looks pretty unlikely for 21.4. While I'm not an X expert, I can't
even see an obvious place to do the change; my guess is that it will
involve a bunch of changes to our geometry management.

Hmm. Perhaps the place for that kind of thing is really in the WM
anyhow, since the similar could happen with other applications as well?
I wonder why it has never happened to me with anything else? Probably
just because the only other char cell sized app I ever run is the
terminal...

I suspect that XEmacs may be wrong here. The ICCCM is quite clear
that if the client and the WM disagree, the WM rules.

What happens when you maximize that?

It just works. Actually, XEmacs does most of the time too. I'm not sure
exactly what circumstances produce the maximize jitter bug.

Or because XEmacs appears to be jumping through more hoops than other
cell-sized apps.
Read the comments at the top of src/EmacsShell-sub.c. They probably
won't improve your understanding about what's actually going on, but
they may at least reduce the desire to understand it (it did for me).
If you are actually interested, it appears that defining
DEBUG_GEOMETRY_MANAGEMENT would produce a fair amount of relevant
information. OTOH, the fact that the programmer saw a need to add that
feature may also be considered relevant information.

Try Karl Hegbloom's suggestion (conflict with the window manager) first.
Second, fedora has the "Freddy vs. Jason exec" feature, which
randomizes where your executable gets loaded or something like that.
While so far it is believed that this should _not_ cause problems for
an XEmacs enabled with the portable dumper, you never know. You might
try turning off the special feature in the loader that does this.
Contact the OS vendor for more information.

Running Fedora-Core 1.0, and a 2.6.0-test10-mm1 kernel with exec-shield
patch.
Even --pdump is *NOT* safe if exec-shield-randomize is set to 1.
It rolls over and dies (even a ./xemacs -vanilla --kill) with a
SIGSEGV. I'd report more, but it's slow going, as gdb doesn't seem
to like the way things move around...
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield-randomize
works around it. I'll post more soon as I figure out what's going on.

Also, it only dies if you had a stray 'LDFLAGS=-pie' in effect.
I've opened http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111183
regarding the gdb issue (it flames out if program linked with -pie).
So this is the same bug (in essence) that I already mentioned once with
the exec-shield '-pie' support.
