After doing an emerge -u -p world this morning I'm getting weirld problems in Gnome. 1. My window decoration (close, maximize, etc...) flicker when I mouse over them. 2. gnome-theme-manager will not run (the process uses about 95-99% CPU cycle.) 3. gdmsetup will not run at the gdm login screen. The two major gnome files that were updated were pango and gtk-2.2.2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Re: gnome-theme-manager, try killing fam (if its running). That's been know to cause some problems with g-t-m in the past.

The problem is with gtk+-2.2.2, I downgraded to gtk+-2.2.1-r1, and even thing is working again.
Yep downgrading gtk+-2.2.2 to gtk+-2.2.1 resolved for me too.
Created attachment 13117 [details] stack trace of epiphany-0.7.0 failure w/ gtk+-2.2.2
ok, i just bumped it to gtk+-2.2.2-r1 with a patch that should take care of this problem. Please give it a go.
It appears that 2.2.2-r1 does /not/ fix the problem. I'm still suffering from it here.
It does fix the gnome-theme-manager startup problem for me, but it stalls soon after startup.... :(
It seems to fix theme-manager issue, but I still have icons corrupted in evolution 1.4 summary.. I'll try to recompile all themes-engine and let u know
well there's actually 2 problems here, the other issue is in combination with the nvidia drivers it seems. Am i correct if i say you are using the nvidia drivers ? If you switch back to 'nv' does the corruption dissapear ?
Yes, using 'nv' driver instead of 'nvidia' in XF86Config, solved evolution screwed icons issue. Things seems to be faster also. Since the problem didn't come up with gtk+2.2.1, is it then gtk or nvidia bug? Whom we should file bugs to? Regards
There are already bugs open on these issues, so no need to file them. The nvidia problem really is an nvidia problem, only now triggered by gtk+ because since .2 it defaults to using xshm. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114880

Gtk+2.2.2-r1 did solve the problem with gnome-theme-manager. But gdm keeps crashing when I try to start gdmsetup from the login screen. When I start it from a terminal there is no problem.
i'm not sure that is related to these bugs or gtk+-2.2.2 directly. If you can confirm that it is from switching gtk+-2.2.1 to .2 and not using nvidia drivers, please open a new bug on it.
I also experienced similar problems to the above, when using gtk+-2.2.2-r1.
I have upgraded to the gtk+ 2.2.2-r1 and recompiled all the gnome ebuilds. Theme manager is now working, gdmsetup is working, but rox filer still doesn't properly scroll.
#16 : similar problems to the above ? please be descriptive, there are 3 different unrelated problems described above. Have you tried all suggested fixes ? And there is little use to a 'me too' report, it only clutters the view. Just add your emailaddy if you are interested in this bugs progress. #17 : why do people think rebuilding everything is going to magicly solve things, if the problem is gtk+ you don't have to rebuild every app on top of it. That's the beauty of libraries. And again, please be descriptive : 'does not scroll properly' ? What happens, what doesn't scroll properly, what is properly scrolling ? How does it behave, how did it behave before , when did you start seeing this problem, can you confirm 100% this is happens when switching between gtk+ versions, etc. etc. Make sure this is the same problem or open another bug.
Basically, metacity cores whenever you fire up mplayer. This is directly related to gtk, as downgrading to gtk+-2.2.1 stops this happening. This is probably connected to the "flickering" of window decorations referred to above, as metacity instantly restarts itself, causing it all to disappear and reappear.
are you using nvidia drivers ?
No I am not using nvidia drivers. I'm using the standard ati one that comes with xfree
ok get me a backtrace of metacity crash, make sure you recompile gtk+ and metacity with debugging info compiled in .

Simon, try using standard xfree drivers btw, again the drivers might the problem. Reporter (Mike), are you using any specific drivers ? And i assume at least your theme manager problems are solved by using -r1 ?
I am! I'm using the xfree drivers for the radeon! Not the proprietry ATI ones.
I can confirm corruption only with the nvidia drivers after latest patch.
the nvidia corruption bug needs to be fixed by nvidia, it's not a gtk+ problem .
Yes, we know, just a ditto that it works fine with the 'nv' driver. Foser, what is the the id of the gnome bug ?
see up, disabling the render acceleration in XF86Config should help btw. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114878
Thanks. I did mail Gareth Hughes at NVidia .. will see if he responds. Else I guess - render accel (have not tested this yet) until new drivers.
Seems like the bug has been found and fixed (thanks for quick reply Gareth!), and will be in next driver release. We will just have to wait until then.
Any updates on the metacity crashing problem, completely unrelated to the nvidia issue?
is the corruption bug fixed with current NV drivers ? Simon, the metacity problem should go in another bug.
Yep, latest drivers fixes this.
i'm using nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496, and with gtk+-2.2.2-r1 gdmsetup still crashes X at the gdm login screen, which was one of the original problems reported. azarah, which issues were fixed for you ?
that is not a pixbuf corruption. If there are different issue, they should be in different bugs.
