Details

Running fbsetbg to set the wallpaper in fluxbox:

# fbsetbg NinjaGaiden1.jpg

causes the following error:

/usr/bin/fbsetbg: line 522: 3663 Segmentation fault $WPSETTER `eval echo $option` "$wallpaper"

It creates a popup suggesting running the following command to see what happens:

# display -geometry 1280x1024+0+0 -window root NinjaGaiden1.jpg

Running this causes just Segmentation fault to be returned.

The display command without the "-window root" works fine so that is something to go on.

I'm having this on two different machines, both are up-to-date with pacman and one is running nvidia, the other intel drivers.
This task depends upon

Additional comments about closing:  Fixed, the new version of libmagick was writing a nullpointer where it should set the pointer itself.
