Public bug reported: For this example, I've created an entirely white png (attached to the bug report) with size 2400 x 36000. I saved it at compression level 9 (or whatever gimp means by that) and in 8-bit RGB. I would expect eog to be able to display this because 2400 * 36000 * 4 colours is 330 MB, which is vastly less than the available RAM on my machine. While X represents window dimensions with 16 bit values, which may perhaps be signed (I didn't check my host's type definitions), I don't expect eog to allocate a pixel-to-pixel window for the image. My screen's size is ample.
This arose because of a real image of the same dimensions, but which I can't attach here. The behaviour is the same. jeff@starshine:data_2016-09-01 $ eog /tmp/2400x36000.png ** (eog:26198): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-3UXmMLd2Wv: Connection refused (eog:26198): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'eog' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 415 error_code 11 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM) minor_code 5) (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
