>Release: FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Velocet Communications
>Environment:
This probably happens on any platform and should be sent back to the
maintainer, but in the meantime:
>Description:
When X fails in a certain way, XPostitPlus seems to get back very
bogus information on the state of it's windows. If it ends up putting
height and width of 0 into the files, it will then refuse to restart
with the X error "Error: Shell widget PostItNote has zero width and/or height"
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit the first four numbers in a postit note "note1" file to 0, run
xpostit+
>Fix:
This patch can be installed as patch-ab in the files directory of the
port and it fixes the problem.
