/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XErrorDB exists on my system but there is no XtErrorDB file at all.

OTOH, the missing XtErrorDB file is probably not related. All Xt based applications behave this way... >Can you tell us which locale settings (LANG and LC_* environment variables) >you're using ? This seems relevant to me. leroutier58 leroutier # env | grep LANG LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 leroutier58 leroutier # env | grep LC leroutier58 leroutier # > Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion > Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset i have those 2 lines for other X apps (viewres/xcalc/xclipboard/xditview/xfontsel/xman), but xedit is the only one to crash look at this comment for what Rolland Mainz had to say about them : http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1325#c9 Is this still an issue using a current version of xorg? Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future. closing as worksforme. |
