It really is an *extremely* confusing failure mode -- what I was seeing was that tunnelled X programs were mostly working fine, except that XInternAtom was failing at random, causing middle-button paste to stop working between windows, so it was acting like some kind of obscure X server bug! > This is just silly IMHO and will cause no end of hassles > for users trying to figure out what's going on and > also be a waste of time for developers of those X apps > who will receive bogus bug reports. > > So can we change the upstream default back to what it used to be? I do think it's a lame change that should be reverted, but even if not, it absolutely needs better diagnostics. A total failure to forward X connections would be clearer than the current behavior.
