           Summary: XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 only works in console (NOT
                    icons)
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Lib/Xlib
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: n.andrew.walsh at gmail.com


after just installing xorg6.8.2 (through gentoo), i'm having a problem with all the programs that 
require the XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 flag. these are the usual suspects: xmms, gmplayer, and 
firefox. my problem is this: while i can start these applications from the console, i can NOT start them 
from an icon/button that calls the function. i'm using fvwm, so for me that would be a function string 
for fvwm, which would look like this:
'Exec exec XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xmms'
this does exactly the same thing as running that command from the console, so i don't know why it 
wouldn't work. incidentally, i have the same problem with openoffice (though it doesn't require the 
XLIB-... string): i can only initialize it from a console.

any suggestions?

thanks,

EE
