[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#323857: xfce4-panel: Panel buttons with a menu break sawfish if the menu is popped up

[Paul Evans]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: normal


To reproduce the bug:

 1. Be running sawfish, rather than the default xfwm4
 2. Click the up-arrow of the "Printers" button in the panel

The popup window now appears, as a full Sawfish window, complete with
window decorations. Futhermore, it causes a Sawfish error message box in
the middle of the screen, saying something like:

    Bad argument: #<subr make-vector>, 7378697629...., 1

This error message will now not go away... If it is cleared (by clicking
on it), it will re-appear when almost any other window manager function
happens, such as

 * Switching desktops
 
 * Mapping or unmapping another window to the screen - newly-mapped
   windows in normal applications don't get borders drawn, and get
   mapped to the fixed +0+0 location at the top-left of the screen.

Simply refocusing from one window to another doesn't cause this message
to appear.

The only way to stop this breakage, is to restart Sawfish by

  pkill sawfish; sawfish &
or
  sawfish-client -f restart

Also relavent, is the version of sawfish:
