Details

Description:

Pushing control key and mouse button 3 does not invoke GUI
configurator, nor does holding control key and mouse button 1 bring out
configurable menu displayer.

This is the error message I get:

(process:11277): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running
setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create
a helper program instead. For further details, see:

http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

Refusing to initialize GTK+.

ls -l /usr/bin/mlterm:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 270168 2008-03-25 17:04 /usr/bin/mlterm

Looks like the bug can be fixed by running
sudo chmod -s /usr/bin/mlterm

Additional info:
* package version(s)
mlterm 2.94-1
gtk2 2.14.4-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Ctr+right click and Ctr+left click
This task depends upon

I hope you understand that this is not an option because at that point mlterm would be run with root privileges anytime.

Actually, he's removing the suid bit, which means mlterm is installed suid root by default! Take a look at this:

[root@polaris glenn]# pacman -S mlterm

mlterm seems to be a dead project, I'd like to move it out of extra. Normal terminal made such huge progress on unicode etc in the last years, which is why I think mlterm is a dead horse.

  • Field changed: Status (Assigned → Waiting on Response)
any decision about moving out from [extra] or just close as upstream?
