Summary:                    xfce4-session crashes when you send long strings over the network
Description: 
Sending long(?) strings over the network port it opens will crash it.
I tried different amounts of A's and made it crash every time.
Should it be like this? what hosts does it parse data from? heh, this
could be a buffer-overflow(?), didnt check it closer on

Well, the port is opened by libICE and is under control of libICE, so in
general theres not much I can do about it. Anyways, could you please post
a backtrace of the crash?

If I can get a coredump out of it, not going well sofar, don't got
debugging libs either, this should be reproducible though..eh?
and should it crash the entire desktop environment? or is libICE deeper
down then that?

Should be reproducible, I'll try it when I'm back at home. It crashes the
entire desktop environment, because the session manager controls the
session.
