newer versions of libx11 seem to not allow eggwm to run

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and it seems I can't get eggwm to run.

With sudo Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 900x700 & eggwm -display :1 
output: eggwm: cannot connect to X server :1

It appears to be something with libx11 1.4.0 and on but I'm not entirely sure...

plz fix it it's on your end!

Are you using the DEB packages? The DEBs are for Natty, download and compile 
the code ;)

I compiled the code from source and tried to run it and I got the result above. 
Also what deb package? The only one I can find is the one on your Downloads 
page and that's for 10.10 and i386; wrong arch for me (uname -m: x86_64.)  I 
have natty-proposed enabled and I don't see any eggwm in synaptic/USC.

I'm sorry, not Natty, Maverick xD I haven't got this problem, I make this:

$ Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 900x700 &
$ eggwm -display :1

And it works fine, then only is neccesary launch apps in the display :1, for 
example:
$ konsole -display :1

Greetings!

This is what I get when I run that.

It opens up the Xephyr window and displays nothing I waited about 5 mins before 
killing the application, I tired clicking on it to see what would happen.

gnomy@gnomy:~$ Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 900x700 & eggwm -display :1

But try to run first Xephyr, and later eggwm! I have errors too if I try to run 
the two commands at the same time.

Ok I just tried that...

gnomy@gnomy:~$ Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 900x700
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 45 requests (45 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

and then..

gnomy@gnomy:~$ eggwm -display :1
Reading configuration from home 
[+] ButtonPress event 0x 121 
    La ventana no es un marco 
[+] ButtonPress event 0x 121 
    La ventana no es un marco 
<unknown>: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :1.

I opened up another tab in Terminal after I did the Xephyr command, and ran the 
eggwm I waited about 2 mins nothing showed up.. I tired clicking on it nothing 
happened except for the output on terminal.

Yes... And this is the desired output xD EggWM is a window manager, you need to 
launch applications in the display :1 to see the result

For example
$ xcompmgr -cf -d :1
to add composition

To launch a terminal
$ konsole -display :1

Or any application that you will need like Docky, gimp...

This is a screenshot runing EggWM, Docky and Xcompmgr
