a few days ago i've been updating a few packages and now i'm not able to use my (perfectly working) application buttons/menu entries any more. xchat, eclipse, claws-mail, firefox all won't open up a window, if i press on a button. right click on a pdf in konqueror and choosing acroread won't start acroread, xchat won't autostart any more, etc. every kde native (qt) app still works. amarok, licq, ... i can still start all the applications via a console and they will run without problem. i've upgraded these packages in the possible time frame, when the problems started: Tue Apr 10 14:25:27 2007

Did you try to find some help in forums.g.o or the mailing list? Create a new account or move your ~/.kde test-wise to another place to check if you still have the problem. Assuming local problem.
i'm not so sure about that. someone on kde-forum.org told me that it has something to do with kdeinit_wrapper and i looked / tested around a bit. i can start kde apps via kdeinit_wrapper normally. i won't get an error, if i try to start like firefox with it, but firefox will ONLY start up if there's already an instance of it running. if not, it will just die without an error message. i CAN start apps with kwrapper though. i tried to login as a new user and found, that kdestarupconfig is missing from my system! i've googled around a bit and found that more ppl seem to be missing that application after an kde update but i found no solution so far.
sorry, it's kstartupconfig (not kdestartupconfig) and it isn't missing, just forgot to create a /home for my new user. still, creating a new user+kde wouldn't help with the original problem.

i don't know if this is reproducible on any other system than mine, but i found my problem maker: gtk-engines. the lines, which led me there are: /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libsmooth.so[0x2aaafc2fa3d2] /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libsmooth.so[0x2aaafc3101fa] /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libsmooth.so[0x2aaafc30faa2] i've unmerged gtk-engines and now i can start gtk+ apps again. emerge it, same error.
(In reply to comment #4) > i'll try to rebuild glibc. Doesn't help in such a case. Glibc detects double frees in code _using_ it. Which version of x11-themes/gtk-engines?
gtk-engines-2.8.2-r1 there seems to be another problem as well. even though i haven't installed gtk-engines any more and i can launch eclipse, claws-mail and xchat via buttons or autostart again, firefox-bin still has issues. for example, if i shut down kde with a firefox window open, kde isn't able to properly start it again, after login. still there's an instance of it running, but there are no open windows and i have to kill it before i can start another one. i don't get no double free, .xsession-error gives me: X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4 Major opcode: 54 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x1400e0c X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8 Major opcode: 159 Minor opcode: 6 Resource id: 0x1400e0c which i usually get TOO with the double free.
ok more interesting facts, that all somehow seem to be connected. i've installed gtk-engines-murrine. if i start xchat via kde button, xchat is starting up BUT it's using the fallback gtk engine and not the set murrine one. IF i start it via command line, it's using the murrine engine. also: if i start firefox or acroread i will ALWAYS get: (firefox-bin:21308): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine", so there seems to be a problem with paths somehow. i can any guess, that this is all connected with my original problem with gtk-engines somehow.
ok, i do understand now, why my binary applications (32 bit) won't be themed and can't find the themes: /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib is missing gtk themes. i guess that's because some engines don't install any 32bit themes and gtk-engines itself is momentarily not installed (because of the reasons mentioned in the posts above). why doesn't every gtk-engine-* install a 32bit version?
Ultimately because portage doesn't work that way (yet). Nothing except gcc and glibc automatically install 32-bit versions; instead, the amd64 herd generates 32-bit versions of certain packages and libraries needed to install binary-only software (such as firefox-bin, openoffice-bin, skype, nvidia-drivers, and so on) and makes these availabe as emul-linux-x86-* packages. The intention is *not* to be able to run arbitrary 32-bit software, but only supported ones available in portage. If you want a full 32-bit system, you can run one easily; if you want a partial 32-bit and partial 64-bit system, you're really on your own for that. You can build your own emul-linux-x86-* packages (see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/emul/index.xml ), or you can request that the amd64 herd generate one for you. They may or may not do it.
ok. i've finally compiled firefox (64bit) and now i got a themed firefox, if i start it from command line, while it's using the default (fallback) gtk+ theme if i start it from any kde button/icon/button. same goes for other gtk+ apps.
ok, now i'm completely confused. claws-mail can be started via button and still has the right skin. i've not found any other gtk+ application that works that way. all the others use the fallback engines unless i start them from the command line!
This bug is known and fixed upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393312 (and probably fixed in Gentoo since the report)
closing per comment #13 and per upstream report. Please reopen if it's not fixed for you with gtk-engines-2.12 or 2.14.
