every gtk2 app throws a message like this (here: gkrellm2): ** (gkrellm2:29775): CRITICAL **: file pango-color.c: line 952 (pango_color_parse): assertion `spec != NULL' failed -:2: Invalid color constant '(null)' -:2: error: invalid string constant "#eee1b3", expected valid string constant Gtk-ERROR **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 1973 (_gtk_container_focus_sort): should not be reached but also MozillaFirebird/MozillaThunderbird. EVERY gtk2 app! Via google, I found this: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2003-July/msg00137.html But there is no real answer to the problem. Probably it is only a broken rc-file, but I had not crash and use default rc files. I can't locate the problematic file. help needed quickly! ;-) thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start a gtk2 app -> bang
Please post your emerge info. Looks like it could be a freetype2/pango error ?

> Please post your emerge info. done. > Looks like it could be a freetype2/pango error ? maybe. Really don't know. I found other reports of my problem, but no solution. :-( And: gtk1 apps are working perfectly (i.e. gimp), I have the problem *only* with gtk2. I'm a KDE user, so GTK is just a helper lib to me. I don't really need it. But I want to run some gtk(2) apps. Stefan.
If it's a corruption of some sort -as your link suggest- we cannot fix this for you obviously. Try the obvious things like recompiling the troublesome libs (gtk/glib/freetype/fontconfig/pango in no particular order), if you have no special config it should replace them all.
>If it's a corruption of some sort -as your link suggest- >we cannot fix this for you obviously. I don't believe, that this is some sort of corruption. Could be a malformed config, done by a crazy tool. I don't know. I had no crashes at all. > Try the obvious things like recompiling the troublesome libs >(gtk/glib/freetype/fontconfig/pango in no particular order), > if you have no special config it should replace them all. gtk, gnomelib, pango: done before I opened this bug. I even deleted every configfile. But I will try it with freetype, glib and fontconfig also. But I think I should do this not on X then. ;-) And hey, KDE works perfectly, GTK also. I have the problem *only* with GTK2. Which libs are needed for a gtk2-app basically? I should re-emerge all of them. Stefan.
YEAHH!!!!!!!! fontconfig -> no pango -> no gtk2 -> no glib -> YES! re-emerging glib was successful. All problems gone. It was a good idea to open this bug. You helped me! ;-) thanks!
