Description Gregory Shimansky 2017-07-14 20:21:57 UTC
Created attachment 1298624 [details]
Patch for LUCID toolkit support

Description of problem:

Emacs warns that there is a bug in GTK which crashes Emacs when X display is disconnected:

When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715

This bug has been open since year 2002, and will probably exist for some more time. For this reason Ubuntu has a -lucid version of Emacs package. Fedora for some reason doesn't have one. Also some people may prefer LUCID look and feel to one that GTK version provides. For example when using current Cygwin X11 server, I cannot see GTK menus while LUCID menus work well.

I attached a patch which adds -lucid build for Emacs package. I used it for a while and found no bugs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Thanks, I'll take a look and test this a bit first.

Comment 2 Jan Synacek 2017-07-18 07:00:39 UTC
The package is built for F26, you can find it at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=919405. I can't create an update yet, because I still haven't built it for rawhide due to some compilation failures. Feel free to let me know if the F26 package works for you.

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2017-07-18 10:09:10 UTC
