Bug 157359 – gtk-engines-2.8.2: broken Clearlooks gtkrc

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nm (RETIRED) 2006-12-06 11:39:50 UTC]

I just picked up the gtk-engines 2.8.2 stable update for AMD64. Unfortunately, it broke the UI of mozilla-firefox and mozilla-firefox-bin. Nothing else is broken; I re-emerged gtk-engines and everything that installs to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10, and rebuilt all the emul-linux-x86 X/gtk-related packages. However, though the rest of the Gnome environment displays normally, including nautilus windows, Gnome applications, menus, etc., ff and ff-bin are broken. Only errors I could find are in ~/.xsession-errors:

/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:59: error: unexpected identifier `animation', expected character `}'
No running windows found
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:59: error: unexpected identifier `animation', expected character `}'
No running windows found
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:59: error: unexpected identifier `animation', expected character `}'

Opening the file doesn't show anything too unusual, except that the '}' is on its own line, rather than on the same line as 'animation = FALSE'.

In my experience, gtk-engines-2.8.2 was rushed to stabilization on AMD64. It's definitely broken -- at least, the clearlooks theme update is.

And yes, downgrading to gtk-engines fixes the problem with firefox/firefox-bin, no recompiling of other packages is necessary.

It can be fixed by emerging the latest ~arch versions of:
emul-linux-x86-gtklibs
emul-linux-x86-xlibs
emul-linux-x86-baselibs

and then recompiling everything that builds in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/foo. Thanks to Luis Medinas (metalgod) on IRC for the suggestion. So, can we AMD64 users get those packages stabilized, as they're built with gtk+-2.10, not gtk+-2.8?

[Comment 3 nm (RETIRED) 2006-12-06 14:25:42 UTC]

Reassigning as requested by metalgod.

yes.. I know its early.. but I stabled it anyways... we need to follow GTK+ 2.10
