92581 - [xlib] Implement Xlib error handler for Xlib-toolkit

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, enhancement)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

RFE: Xlib-toolkit needs a X error handler, just like the libX default one -
except that it should call abort(); instead of exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
This should help getting better bug reports for X errors...

We really need this one urgendly; some hardware+platforms combinations like
Solaris+Creator3D and recent Xfree86+hw_with_many_visuals versions suffer from X
error related crashes.

Accepting bug, setting milestone.

I'll post some code for this tomorrow, unless you [gisburn] already have
something going on.

Yes... I have code for this... but the patch does not apply without applying
stuff in bug 94569 first ... ;-(
