Description Julien Cristau 2007-01-17 22:18:02 UTC

See Debian bug#232133 (http://bugs.debian.org/232133):
The manpage for XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (and
XUnregisterIMInstantiateCallback) shows the fifth argument as type
"XIMProc".

The Xlib.h header, however, uses a XIDProc as fifth argument and the
xfree code indeed passes a display as first argument (i.e. uses it like a
XIDProc).

Further, the sixth argument is documented to be a XPointer * (and actually
takes a XPointer * on other X11 imps), whereas xfree86 wants a XPointer
there.

Either xfree86 has wrong code, or wrong manpages.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
