[Bug 1421483] Re: All keyboard input fails: "IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big"

 

OK here's what I think happened, and why I think it has happened.

Every morning I run an emacs macro

(fset 'traverse-hyperlink-line
   (format "(shell-command \"%s \C-e & sleep 1;\")\C-x\C-e\C-f\C-p\C-k\C-d" web-browser))


that causes about 25-100 calls to web-browser(in this case arora).  So long as Arora stays open, it does *not* release its file descriptors in the ibus process.  You can confirm this by running emacs with a text file full of 100 URLs, opening arora(it has to be open already, otherwise it will only open one tab)

Esc-100 M-x traverse-hyperlink-line

This will open up about 100 files in the proc fdinfo directory for ibus-
daemon reachable by

cd /proc/`ps -ea  | grep ibus-dae | awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`/fdinfo

as counted by

ls | wc -w

This is true even after you've closed the tabs that were opened in this
fashion and in fact even after you've closed arora and emacs!
