250742 - Can't use remote mozilla

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: X-remote, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040709
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040709

For Mozilla 1.7 and the current 1.8 snapshot I cannot use a remote $DISPLAY.
Mozilla just sits there and does nothing. The old 1.6 works. Any idea what has
changed between 1.6 and 1.7 to trigger this problem?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

My Xserver is an AMD64 machine running Debian (pure64). Window manager is twm or
fvwm. Mozilla is the _only_ application showing this problem.

Does it happen with a new profile too?

Comment 2

[Frederic Bezies]

Did you try with mozilla 1.7.1 ? Or even building it ?

Comment 3

[Harald Dunkel]

Yes, it happens with a new profile, too.

I haven't tried 1.7.1 yet. But I grabbed the CVS snapshot of
today, compiled and installed it: Same problem.

Firefox does _not_ have this problem. Actually, Firefox
works pretty well on amd64, soI have no reason to use
it on a remote machine. I did not check thunderbird.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
