|
418 | Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
|
|
419 | Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
|
|
420 | design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
|
|
421 | leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering |
