Package: libgtk2.0-0 Version: 2.10.12-2 Severity: normal Somewhere in version 2.10 of libgtk, a call to XkbSelectEventDetails() was added around line 300 of gdk/x11/gdkdisplay-x11.c, in gdk_display_open. This call causes gtk applications to fail to run when displaying to an Xsgi X server, with an error message like the following:
The program 'xscreensaver-demo' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 73 error_code 2 request_code 139 minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Commenting out the XkbSelectEventDetails() call allows the apps to start and run normally. I'm not really well versed enough in X11 to say exactly why the call is failing. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.19.2 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.6-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcupsys2 1.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnutls13 1.6.2-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgtk2.0-common 2.10.12-2 Common files for the GTK+ graphica ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 recommends: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.10-1 default fallback theme for FreeDes ii libgtk2.0-bin 2.10.12-2 The programs for the GTK+ graphica -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
