Backdrop corruption - ROX 1.3.7 bug?

Hello all!

I downloaded ROX 1.3.7 last night, and I am pleased.  But...my backrop is
now messed up.  It's like the backdrop is being moved around in addition
to being randomly corrupted.  It's hard to put into words, so I put up a
web page with some screenshots.  You can find it here:
http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~geerp/bad_backdrop.html

I'm using the latest developer version of Wallpaper to set the backdrop,
but resetting it by hand didn't seem to help.  I haven't noticed anything
in particular that's causing it other than just lots of window movement,
i.e. screen repainting.

For context, I'm running Slackware Linux 8.1 with a Sawfish 1.2 for GTK+
1.2 and ROX 1.3.7 compiled from source using GTK+ 2.0.5.

So, has anyone else experienced a similar problem?  Is this a bug, or is
my configuration just really, really messed up?

I'm not a big 'box fan so I'm a bit rusty here but I think the issue is not actually ROX but the wm itself. It
sounds like the ROX program is running hidden. You could try running something like gtop or a term then the
command killall rox before exiting the window manager.

Re: Backdrop corruption - ROX 1.3.7 bug?

Following up on my previous message...

I played with this a little bit, and the problem seems to happen
consistently when I select "Backdrop..." from the pinboard right-click
menu.  I didn't actually change anything - just opened the backdrop
window.  After that, whenever a section of the screen is forced to
repaint, it seems to move the backdrop down farther.  The only way I can
get the backdrop back to the normal position is to log out.

I hope that proves informative.

Did you try only using the Rox pinboard (and the backdrop setting) without running the wallpaper program?
Wallpaper isn't actually necessary with on all setups. For example, my system simply uses the XFWM4 and
ROX pinboard which load the backdrop quite nicely.

Same happens here.  I had also seen this before (but I didn't know what
triggered it), so added a debug line to pinboard.c:

Both are right. init is the first process started upon boot. Every other
process is a child of init. System by default only shows you the processes
started with the user's account. Only those you can modify/kill directly.
"Show All Processes" will show you the remaining processes owned by root 
or special daemon users, with init at the top.You cannot kill them
with your user account.

ROX-Filer should be a direct child of ROX-Session. ROX-Session should be
a descendant of init, but not a direct child normally.

I have this:

init
 |
 +- gdm
     |
     +- gdm
         |
	 +- ROX-Session
	     |
	     +- ROX-Filer

Perhaps you are running more than one copy of the filer? If the process
that started the filer quits, the filer will become a direct child of
init. However, the one started by ROX-Session shouldn't be a direct child,
because ROX-Session hasn't quit.

Applied. Hope that fixes it...
