I'm running Fedora 17, upgraded (through preupgrade) from 16. The installation is fully updated. I use KDE, with 12 virtual desktops (though I usually only have things open in 4 or 5 of them). I have one panel, and the only widgets running in the root window are the pager and a folder view that shows only Home and Trash. (Those are present on all the desktops.) I've been encountering situations where I hit this error and new windows refuse to open. For instance, right now I have a console window with 2 tabs, a claws-mail window (and the compose message window in which I'm writing this), a firefox window, 2 emacs windows, and 3 pdf files open in okular. At this point, for instance, I can't open another file in okular, getting "Maximum number of clients reachedokular: cannot connect to X server :0" I did not have this problem with a similar workload on F16. To run xlsclients, I have to close something; after quitting one of the okular windows, xlsclients gives: ext.math.umass.edu kwin ext.math.umass.edu kded4 ext.math.umass.edu kded4 ext.math.umass.edu
