Title: RC5: aterm problem when launching from panel
Post by: offroadgeek on October 09, 2004, 02:34:35 am

this is an intermittant problem.  when launching aterm from the panel shortcut, sometimes just a sliver of a window appears (in random places on the screen).  when I resize the sliver into the actual window... it's named "unnamed window".  Once I get the window resized and closed, I can try the shortcut again, and it usually works... it kind of alternates

I have had this problem too, but only once so far.

I've experienced the same.  I've noticed it more often than not when I had the package manager open... Not sure if it's related to that, but sure seemed like it.

I can't recreate the problem :-( Will keep testing..

When I close this (the slither as described in the first post) aterm window, some other program also closes, as though the program is being run from the aterm.

You can still get an aterm running from the program launcher.

I have tried to recreate this behaviour without success, to try a 'ps aux' to see if any program is a child of the aterm(slither).

When I start an aterm from the task bar icon, clicking the icon again iconifies/restores the aterm.

I confirm this bug. Happens quite often. I can't say anything when does it occur, just wanted to say I have it too.

I had this happen to me again last night.  I had dillo open by itself and when I tried to bring up aterm by clicking on the laucher it opened the little untitled window instead.  When I right-clicked on the little window and selected Close it also closed dillo.

I have had the same problem with other programs - will try to look into it.

You could try opening a terminal, and assuming you have the tools xlsclients and xkill compiled use...

xlsclients -l

This will return all the Window IDs of the running client processes.

xkill

Kill the Window, this will show the ID of the window killed and then you match it against the list.

Hope this helps,
