I ran into the same problem with a self written libwebkitgtk program,
also for the 'antialias' property which is asked in the same path
XGetDefault call from cairo-xlib-screen.c .
The segfault seems to always occur in the calls from libcairo2, more
precisely cairo-xlib-screen.c function
_cairo_xlib_init_screen_font_options (Display *dpy, cairo_xlib_screen_t
*info)
it's always one of the get_integer_default or get_boolean_default calls.
If I write down the values in a successful run (for my system that is
cairo_bool_t xft_hinting=1;
cairo_bool_t xft_antialias=TRUE;
int xft_hintstyle=0;
int xft_lcdfilter=1;
)
and prevent the calls from happening, the segfault goes away. (I create a
patched libcairo2)
Anyone else who wants to try this (on oneiric):
sudo apt-get source libcairo2
sudo apt-get build-dep libcairo2
cd cairo-1.10.2/
modify src/cairo-xlib-screen.c so that values above are used (line 135) and
comment out all 3 function calls for get_integer_default or get_boolean_default.
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -nc
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i libcairo2_1.10.2-6ubuntu3_i386.deb
libcairo2-dbg_1.10.2-6ubuntu3_i386.deb libcairo2-dev_1.10.2-6ubuntu3_i386.deb
libcairo-gobject2_1.10.2-6ubuntu3_i386.deb
libcairo-script-interpreter2_1.10.2-6ubuntu3_i386.deb
As to what is the clean fix I'm not sure. Is there some requirement on pthread
synchronization that cairo doesn't meet when calling XGetDefault, or is it a
regular Xorg bug ?
I also noticed /etc/xdg/xfce4/Xft.xrdb allows you to set defaults but
that didn't seem to help me (even though I'm running xfce4/xubuntu)
