Description:   Opened: 2005-10-21 19:07 0000
After I upgraded emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.2 from previous version (2.1),
vmware does not launch any more.
When I downgraded the emulation library, it returns to normal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.2
2. launch vmware
3.

Actual Results:  
following errors occured and vmware quitted.

-------------

** CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf.c: line 79 (gdk_pixbuf_unref): assertion `pixbuf
!= NULL' failed.

** CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-scale.c: line 232 (gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple):
assertion `src != NULL' failed.

** CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-render.c: line 349

** CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf.c: line 79 (gdk_pixbuf_unref): assertion `pixbuf

Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with

Expected Results:  
vmware runs

Exactly the same behaviour here. emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.2 crashes
vmware-workstation-4.5.x, but emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.1 works fine.

I concur with this.  Seeing how many users have /tmp as non-executable for
security reasons, scripts should NOT assume to be able to execute code on /tmp.
