Comment # 8 on bug 1215872 from Markus Elfring
(In reply to Aaron Puchert from comment #7)
> What kind of constraints?

It seems that you would like to concentrate on provided software packages which
were generated from commands of a known RPM file format.

> And why should I think about them?

I would occasionally like to use an other development repository directly.

Reminder:
I added my application concern within the context of an existing issue.


> What do you see?

Repetition:
I saw the German message “Kommuniziere mit dem BOINC Client. Bitte warten ...”
within a modal dialogue which was similar to the English message that was shown
also in a screenshot from Austin Conlon on 2020-10-05.

> Do you mean "Authorization …"?

Obviously, yes.

How do you think about to inspect the control flow between the called functions
“XOpenDisplay” and “CheckAuthorization” any further?

Would you find a loop which would hinder the return of a null pointer?


> XSS idle detection should not block,

This is a reasonable expectation.
I came along other observations.


> and it's not active in the package.

It can eventually be relevant for development software variations.

The understanding is still incomplete for the presented function call trace.
