Bug#109344: gimp1.2: 'gimp-remote -n' often fails
Thomas Leonard
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal
When using 'gimp-remote -n FILE', when the gimp is not loaded, I often get
this error:
everest:~>gimp-remote -n Icon.xpm
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
I think the problem is that gimp-remote connects to the X server and then
Gimp tries to connect with the same PID very soon afterwards. I've reported
this against the X server too, but a possible workaround might be to fork()
before running the new process (not tried).
