Description Enrique Domínguez 2009-11-03 04:45:19 UTC
Start X via xinit, my .xinitrc
--
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /usr/bin/xsm
--
with this .xsmstartup
--
twm
xclock -digital
xterm -rv -geometry 130x40+0+0
xterm -rv -geometry 130x33+0+555
--
If you try to show 'client list' in xsm menu, application will crash

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start X via xinit with only xsm (via .xinitrc)
2.Run in xsm a 'xterm -rv' terminal and twm (via .xsmstartup)
3.Try to show 'client list' on xsm menu
4.xsm will crash (and X session will end)

Actual Results:  
xsm crashing and X session ended

Expected Results:  
xsm client list is showed

Maybe it's twm specific because missing fonts? xsm session over gnome-session is
working well (with metacity)
