All openoffice application fail to start with an X-Error when qt-gui has been compiled with the raster flag: ========== %< =========== $ X-Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource ID: 0x0 Serial No: 460 (460) These errors are reported asynchronously, set environment variable SAL_SYNCHRONIZE to 1 to help debugging ========== %< =========== Tunring off the flag and installing qt-gui again solves the problem. As the raster feature is experimental, such effects can be expected. However, the bug was opened to track the problem at least as known issue for other users that run into the same problem ans search bugzilla.
ewarn "WARNING: You have enabled raster backend rendering engine." ewarn "This is a new feature and may lead to composite problems" ewarn "screen corruption and broken qt4 or kde4 applications. " ewarn "If you encounter such problems please" ewarn "remove 'raster' use flag and re-compile qt-gui before" ewarn "filling a bug on gentoo bugzilla." I'm pretty sure these lines in qt-gui are meant to prevent exactly this, people filing bugs for experimental (== unsupported) feature.
