Description Aaron Sowry cendio 2013-04-15 17:23:19 CEST 
After logging into a session an error report pops up telling the user that xprop has crashed. Haven't tried to get any detailed explanation as to why, but the offending command is apparently:

/opt/thinlinc/libexec/xprop -root 32x \ $0\\n_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2013-04-16 14:14:33 CEST 
The original report was for Ubuntu 13.04 Beta, but I also get this on Fedora 18.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2013-04-17 16:22:58 CEST 
Our ancient xprop is horribly buggy. It abort():s whenever a property doesn't exist on a window. I'm amazed we haven't run in to this earlier.

The xprop in Fedora 18 works fine, so I think we'll just try an upgrade.
Comment 3 Pierre Ossman cendio 2013-04-18 10:45:03 CEST 
xprop upgraded in r27105.
Comment 4 Aaron Sowry cendio 2013-05-15 14:50:52 CEST 
Unable to reproduce using the new xprop on Ubuntu 13.04, so assuming that upgrading it has solved the problem. Closing.
