The fedora patch does a similar thing as my patch in attachment #140768. My
patch uses the standard X signal blocking/unblocking mechansim instead of
calling signal().
The difference in semantics is that the patch in attachment #140768 blocks the
signal while the other one ignores it. This means a signal that's generated
between the start and the end of the fork gets delivered once on unblock.
I don't see right off hand why the one patch should work better than the other.
In any case, about the 'dormant state of novell'. I've added debug code to my
Xserver to shed some light onto this however I have since been unable to
reproduce this issue.
It may have gone away with a system update which included a new kernel.
