It's applied now in obs://X11:XOrg/xorg-x11-libXext and SR'ed for openSUSE:Factory. JFYI, updating to libXext-1.0.99.2 isn't that trivial as you might think. Doing this you're going to end up with udpating half of the X libraries to resolve dependancies. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Only for 11.3 and above. It's definitely a minor issue. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[...] Could we just make the newest versions of all the xlibraries available via online update? It wouldn't require any additional development time from backporting patches and would fix a known issue.

As you already said such an update would introduce it's own set of issues. This even without any beta tests. Also I don't understand why you want to update all X libraries just to fix the issue in libXext. In case you didn't notice it yet. openSUSE is a community project. Beginning with openSUSE 11.2 everybody can request and prepare a package update (if approved), so feel free to improve the situation.
