It happened again (after 83 days of uptime). Some of the ctwm title bar bitmaps were already on the fritz for days; today all bitmap fonts got blanked and most of the tortoise-hg window was filled with small rectangular patterns.

This time restarting X didn't work and I had to reboot :-( I haven't had time to do proper research into this issue yet, unfortunately. But it still feels like some confusion in some part which caches small bitmaps which gets corrupted after a while. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert <rhialto/at/falu.nl> \X/ There is no AI.
