Segmentation fault in libX11

Description:

The program crashes on startup. It does create the directory ~/.workrave, but nothing else happens as far as I can see.

The problem is solved by adding an explicit display option, like this:

% workrave --display="$DISPLAY"

I think this may be a reiteration of a long standing issue: #88 — that has been closed without resolution. Notice though that I use a completely different video card and driver.

From the description, and taking a brief look at gdb output, my guess would be that the problem is in the code that calls for X11 to initialize the window.

Expected behaviour:

The program starts normally without extraneous arguments and respects $DISPLAY environment variable.

Try it yourself:

% gdb workrave <<< run
...
