Patch to remove the purge timeout. (2.37 KB, patch)

Description Federico Mena Quintero 2004-09-02 02:44:03 UTC 
When adding a client, a timeout handler gets installed.  If client doesn't
register itself with the SM before the timer expires, then the client is moved
to the purge lists.

However, the timeout is *not* removed if the client is reincarnated in the
meantime.  Reincarnation frees the old client structure.  Thus, when the timeout
triggers, the callback accesses free()d memory.  The attached patch fixes this.

This patch also needs to go in the gnome-2-6 branch.

Patch looks good Federico, I can't believe this is all it was in the end. Thanks
much :-)

One comment - it'd be nice to s/gtk_timeout_add/g_timeout_add/ while you're there.

Feel free to commit once you've got approval from the release team.

Oh, and after the freeze it would be good to get the debuggin patch you put on
your blog committed
Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-09-13 17:04:01 UTC 
Committed to both the gnome-2-6 and HEAD branches.
