Segfault on Startup for xmonad (and probably other tiling window managers) about freerdp

[jiten19]

Yes i noticed this with dwm too long back .But anyway tiling wms are not supported at this point .

I run rdesktop on thin client (booted from lan) without any window manager by:

X :0 &
DISPLAY=:0 rdesktop -f -u pav winserver
But with freerdp 1.0 I get:
X :0 &
DISPLAY=:0 xfreerdp -f -u pav --sec rdp winserver
Segmentation fault

The version 0.8 was ok.

jiten19: I understand that tiling wms are not supported, but a segfault is still a bug. A graceful failure message would be better.

psalm: That's almost certainly cause by the same issue.

I just installed xmonad in an ubuntu virtual machine (11.04) and I was able to launch FreeRDP without problems. Can you confirm that it now works for you as well? I'd like to close this ticket otherwise

I am sorry, I am using dwm (http://dwm.suckless.org). No change, I get the
same error with the last git sources. In xfce it works. The situation
without any WM I will test tomorrow.

bash-4.2$ xfreerdp -z --no-nla -d dom -u pav winserv
Password:
Segmentation fault

Thanks, Pavel.

@awakecoding: Works fine on xmonad now, thanks!

I also see this segfault with XQuartz under OS X.
