Wingo hangs when trying to quit

[r4-xx]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Press Key combo 'Mod3-Shift-q'

The key bind above is bound in this manner..
Mod3-Shift-q := Quit

Mod3 is my capslock key rebound within my .xinitrc
xmodmap -e 'remove lock = Caps_Lock'
xmodmap -e 'keysym Caps_Lock = ISO_Level5_Shift'
xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = ISO_Level5_Shift'

This did not always occur...it seems to have started randomly.

Could you post your .xinitrc please?

OK. I'll check this out when I get home tonight. If you change the startup to just exec wingo -p 1, does quitting work as intended?

Without testing anything, from looking at your configuration, I'd expect that pressing Mod3-Shift-q would quit Wingo, but X would stay hanging (which would keep all of your windows open). If you remove the cat hack, then I'd expect X to terminate.

Hopefully, I'll test later today and provide feedback. Currently I'm only remotely logged in.

After changing my start up to just 'exec wingo - p 1', the Quit command worked as expected. However, now Restart will not work. It seems to do the same as Quit.

OK. So I am no longer baffled.

I am going to close this issue under the notion that it will be subsumed by a proper fix to issue #70.

As a temporary work-around, you may want to go back to the cat hack, and bind whatever key-combo you want to a shell command that kills X:

Mod1-Shift-Q := Shell "killall X"

(Although my official recommendation is to use xbindkeys to bind keys to shell commands. It is more portable across WMs and more mature.)
