The error message shown if started from a terminal: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `XpadPad' can't be set after construction Data is not lost and can be found in ~/.config/xpad/ Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 237343 [details, diff] patch
The problem might originally be related to a gtk update, but I'm not really sure. I found a solution in a archlinux forum and in the launchpad bug reports. I attached the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/xpad/+bug/591978 How to fix: 1. make a local overlay for x11-misc/xpad (I followed http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Local_Overlays ) 2. apply the attached patch (I followed http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/epatch/index.html ) 3. re-emerge
Why did you change this to RESOLVED FIXED? You should reopen it so that a developer will actually look at this and possibly commit the fix. I can confirm the same problem on my system (with GTK 2.20.1). The attached patch does seem to resolve it.
Sorry, I didn't really think about it. Your absolutly right; I guess I set it to resolved since there is a patch, but the original package is still broken. Thanks for the hint :)
Created attachment 238995 [details, diff] patch for xpad-4.0.ebuild Hi, I applied the above patch here, and it works fine. I'll attached a patch against the current 4.0 ebuild which is in portage, with the above patch renamed to 'fix-gobject.patch'. It would be nice to have this in the tree. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #5) In EAPI 2, patches should be applies in src_prepare().
