Xnest: drop support for "full regeneration"

Open metux opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

This is (rarely used) special mode where, at server regeneration (when last client exited), Xnest is additionally terminating and restarting it's upstream connection, thus also recreating it's main window, etc.

That mode is only meant for special debug scenarios, not suited for practical use. And the same can be achieved by just terminating the whole Xnest process (-terminate cmdline arg) and restrting it.

@metux Is Xnest still able to reset after we removed the support from the Xorg ddx?

With f27e12c918d2bfc26068313e715bed3c2d57fecc it's already gone. It can only terminate when last client exists and being restarted by something else.
