I'm running Debian etch with 2.6.12 kernel on a terminal-server(AMD 2600+) - diskless-client system. Last Saturday (17th) I upgraded both systems (server and client) with aptget dist-upgrade. X is crashing on my client (Pentium 200Mhz, Xorg7.0.0) since that upgrade with "Caught signal 4" when I start xfce(4.2) and it is loading xfwm4, but other desktops like gnome, kde, fluxbox work without errors. On other clients (Pentium2 and 3) it is working fine, even when I use the same root, so I exclude broken packages etc... Even installed directy on the client-machine xfwm4 is not able to start (same error). Even a downgrade to Xorg 6.9.0 and using old (100% working) backups on my client doesn't have any effect, so the source of that problem must be someting on the server, but I don't understand how xfwm4 can cause a "signal 4" on the clients side. I had compiled xorg from source for i586 to get sure that there are no incompabilities. Is it possible, that any package in the apt-system (depending to xfce) is builded incorrecty f

First thing would be to disable compositing in xorg.conf (who needs compositing on a 200MHz system anyway?). BTW, if the X11 server crashes, it's a bug in the X11 server. It should never crash, whatever the client does. HTH Olivier.
Hi Olivier. OWW! I forgot to quote my xorg.conf, sorry!

It should never crash, whatever the client does. Thats true, but I thought that my problem is a bug "well known" by you or you are at least interested in the existance of it ;) Thanks Florian
Definitely not our bug... presumably this is fixed upstream by now anyway.
