Bug 310295 – x11-terms/tilda 0.9.6 segfaults on startup (gdk resources not initialized porperly)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description simon 2010-03-19 22:06:52 UTC]

x11-terms/tilda-0.9.6 (drop down terminal emulator) crashes with segfault on start.
removing old configs as described in bug #300239 is not solving this (neither start with -C nor with shell passed with -c)
gdb shows 





Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7bddc33 in gdk_x11_window_set_user_time () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Expected Results:  
startup without segfault.

This issue did only occur on my x86 machine my amd64 didn't show this, so it seems to be triggered by outside parameters and may not be reproducable on each machine.

Same patch as simon's with adjusted path.

Changed the paths to src/tilda_window.c to fit ebuild requirement.

Ebuild which applies the patch.

This is a modified ebuild which applies the patch originally posted by simon. I tested this ebuild on i386. It worked and fixed the segmentation fault.

I just pushed the patch into the gentoo-x86 tree.  Thanks for the work on this guys!

Shouldn't the version be bumped to 0.9.6-r1 so that users will be aware of the fix? Also, for what it's worth, this fix works on amd64 as well.
