# To subscribers of the xforms list from John Levon <moz@compsoc.man.ac.uk> :

Using metacity WM :

Window manager warning: Broken client! Window 0x1a00024 (Control)
changed client leader window or SM client ID

This happens with e.g. fdesign

the relevant code :

  else if (event->atom ==
           window->display->atom_wm_client_leader ||
           event->atom ==
           window->display->atom_sm_client_id)
    {
      meta_warning ("Broken client! Window %s changed client leader
window or SM client ID\n", window->desc);
    }

This comes from WM_CLIENT_LEADER and SM_CLIENT_ID properties, which seem
to be post-ICCCM.

Had a quick look round, perhaps it is the XSetWMClientMachine that is
done in xforms on every new window, and somehow that's affecting the
given properties. Can't see anything else obvious.

regards
john
