Bug ID: 43893 Summary: Disable use of SHM extension through environment variable Product: Wine Version: 2.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: panard@inzenet.org Distribution: ---
When using wine through container systems like docker, use of MIT-SHM can provoke crashes due to some memory isolation, especially on Mac OS X or Windows (see for instance https://github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/issues/3 )
It would be very convenient to be able to disable the use of XShm extension by setting an environment variable, as Qt and others did (QT_X11_NO_MITSHM). Something like WINE_11_NO_MITSHM would be awesome.
Let me know if you would agree with such a feature - I can work on the patch.
