Re: IceWM locks

It seems to be a known bug.

Re: IceWM locks

Same problem here, it seems that this bug triggered after xorg-server was updated (at least on x86_64, 1.4-6 -> 1.4.0.90-1).

I'm going to downgrade to the previous xorg-server and xorg-xinit until it gets solved.

Re: IceWM locks

Hello,

I did the downgrade two days ago and my system is working fine

I have also added this line to my pacman.conf to avoid upgrades of these packages:

IgnorePkg = xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-xauth

Re: IceWM locks

BTW, I have just seen that the package has been updated and the problem is fixed. I'm trying it in a while
