Description king 2001-04-23 21:54:04 UTC 
I have an application, written in Tk I am porting from Irix to Linux.
This application is an image viewing application. On Irix, when the
application is iconified, it draw a thumbnail of its image in the icon
window.

On Linux, often (but not always) when I quit this application, the tasklist
applet exits. I traced this down a bit. tasklist_applet is calling
XGetWmHints with a bad window id and the X error handler is exiting. I that
when my application quits, task_notifier in tasklist_applet.c is getting
called first with a GWMH_NOTIFY_INFO_CHANGED message then with a
GWMH_NOTIFY_DESTROY message. If the tasklist applet does not get a chance
to process the INFO_CHANGED message until after my application has already
exited, it dies.

Anders? Is this diagnostic correct?
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2002-03-16 23:31:30 UTC 
Has this behaviour changed in later releases?

Seems to be related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59500
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2003-02-09 02:43:13 UTC 
Because of the release of GNOME 2.0 and 2.2, and the lack of interest in
maintainership of GNOME 1.4, the gnome-core product is being closed. If y0u feel
your bug is still of relevance to GNOME 2, please reopen it and refile it
against a more appropriate component. Thanks...

Argh. Apologies for the double spam. Actually closing this time.
