I can confirm this working on fedora 25 |
|
I can confirm this is working in Ubuntu 16.04. This fixes a serious bug that can lead to system instability. Without this patch, if a 'Command' action is commonly used, it will lead to so many zombie processes that the OS will be unable to launch additional processes. |
|
Unfortunately, this project seems rather dead. |
|
Dead or not it still works fine. (with that path) |
|
It is a shame easystroke seems abandoned. Is there a maintained replacement? I know there has been other gesture work done by ubuntu. |
|
Has anyone tried contacting the author? It's one of my favourite packages, can't imagine working without it. |

I've been using easystroke with the bspwm window manager to create touchscreen actions (like draw a w to open a web browser etc).
It is working really well but I noticed I was ending up with a lot of zombie processes. Switching from fork to glib's g_spawn_async function as in this commit fixed this for me.
