Obviously the solution is simple: I've already implemented it. But seriously? You think a hard Xserver crash caused by a userspace client is NotABug? I don't believe that it's reasonable for the Xserver to crash in this fashion: Refuse to run the application? Sure. Fall back to software rendering? Why not. Segfault and kill the entire desktop? That doesn't seem very user friendly to me frankly.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
