Simple invocation of wshowkeys segfaults.

I didn't find how to debug a setuid-requiring program, so no backtrace, sorry.

Hi,

I can reproduce that if I try to use the program when not being in a
Wayland compositor that supports wlr_layer_shell_v1.
What environment did you try to run wshowkeys in?

cheers,
Birger

Hi,

Ah, yes, that explains it. Gnome does not support wlr_layer_shell_v1.
But wshowkeys should probably not segfault, but show an error message.

cheers,
