Bug Description

The command Xnest -geometry 1x1 -query 127.0.0.1 :2 takes all memory in a short
a lapse of time. The problem occurs only with Human themes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Xephyr -screen 1x1 -query 127.0.0.1 :2
2. Xnest -query 127.0.0.1 -geometry 100x100 :3
3.

Actual results:
All the memory is taken.

Expected results:
Display a little Xserver with gdm OR return with a error message "to small
xserver"

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Distri: Ubuntu 6.10 uptodate

The Xephyr case is still reproducible in 8.10 beta. But it's OK with Xnest.

Hi Nicolas, sorry to ask again, but is this still an issue for you?
Is this an edgy-gdm-themes issue, or a xserver-xephyr issue?
Thank you

I have still the problem with Xnest and Xephyr, but now (with Ubuntu
Jaunty) not all memory are used, but only 80 % for 1x1 geometry , 30 %
for 2x2 geometry and 45 % for 1x2 geometry.
