Odd issue with Openbox, Thunar, and Xarchiver...

Not much of a problem, but i was just umcompressing a file with xarchiver and decided to cancel the process. Which logged me out to slim closing everything but mpd which also runs as a user process. I thought it was a funky multitasking issue, but when i tried to reproduce it. It yeilds the same results everytime.. Its not a big deal as i dont usually cancel uncompression processes much. I just thought it was notable and funny, ie... mental note; dont do that again!

Well, I would suggest that you do it again !

Then look at the Xorg log and see what went wrong. Paste it here or in pastebin (if too long) as well.

This is the last bit of Xorg.0.log;

[152556.364] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
[152556.398] (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"

no error, everything loads. then this. looks like a normal logout no?

note. no changes were made to x, and using stock arch kernel. i usually dont use exit, i shutdown from openbox, or lock via xscreensaver -lock

Look into Xorg.0.log.old also. It can be a Xorg crash. If X restarts, it probably renames Xorg.0.log to Xorg.0.log.old.

Re: Odd issue with Openbox, Thunar, and Xarchiver...

Yea, checked that too. I should have noted that those lines where in both, after crashing it loggin back in crashing it again and using terminal from slim. Its not really a huge issue as i dont habitually cancel decompressions. but rather odd, no crash that i can tell. its almost like canceling it executes exit somehow.
