Hm, anyone losing windows when openbox is restarted? I run rxvt, then Menu -> Restart, and it's gone.

My console shows some segfaults, one specifically with an assertion failed on 'hash_table != NULL', happened after doing a few restarts in a row (while trying to figure out why windows are disappearing). The majorty give no explanation.

Unfortunately, I run with ulimit -c 0. I cannot exit X at the moment, so I can fix that for consistent coredumps.

Fortunately I use a function in my ~/.xinitrc to start up the window manager (in case it crashes), so it restarts in 5 seconds. The 5 second wait allowed me to restart openbox in a ulimit -c unlimited term and get a core, which coincidentally disappeared when it started back up, so I'm back to my restart function. :P

I've also noticed the past two release, openbox seems to pause for upwards of 5 or 10 seconds on *some* restarts. Which could be related to g_usleep() calls in replace_wm().

I've not done any patching in the last two releases, so it shouldn't be me.

Help! D: hehe
