LXDE Forums

I have a handicap now and don't have fine motor control of my fingers. Accidentally middle clicking on the middle button and closing tabs was a problem so I got the source code and fixed it so that if the tabs didn't have a close button they wouldn't close with a middle click either.

Then a couple of days ago I accidentally clicked on the window close button and lost all of the tabs

I've been trying to fix that and I am having trouble. First I tried adding a dialog that pops up when I hit the close button to confirm. But it seg faulted when I did the call to gtk_message_dialog_new to create the dialog to confirm the close.

Then I discovered I could just add the following line and then the close button just didn't function at all, and that would work for me: But then I discoved that only worked okay if I always started new LXTerminal windows from the menu of a running window. If I tried to start a new LXTerminal from the start menu or command line it crashes ALL the running LXTerminal windows.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

P.S. if anyone is interested in the patch to disable the middle click from closing tabs if they don't have a close button please let me know.

I spent more time trying to fix either the window close confirmation dialog or the crash when starting more than one window with no success. I finally decided the best solution for me was to just eliminate the one LXTerminal process handling all windows. So now when I start two LXTerminals running I have two processes. They don't seem to use that much memory, so I don't think that will be a big problem for me.

Great idea. Can you produce a patch against the unmodified lxterminal and upload it somewhere?

I think that confirmation dialog is feature that must be implemented when closing window with multiple tabs
