Description Sergey S. Starikoff 2012-01-23 07:15:26 UTC
On my old x86 workstation not long ago (about month or two) I rememeber the following issue:
x11-terms/terminal (0.4.8) rarely, but regularly (not once) looses interface (no action is available, including closing window via DE).
Xsession log (now slim.log) at that time contains records like:

(Terminal:2941): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed

To close application I am to cwitch to console (Crtl-Alt-F1), login and send TERM signal to process (in quoted case 2941).
Should such bugs be reported in downstream (Gentoo) Bugzilla, or it's necessary and ehough to report them upstream?

Reported upstream.

Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-01-23 09:23:41 UTC
This might sound "stupid", but please try:

- With a new user, as in with empty home directory to exclude possibility of broken themes, gtkrc files, etc.

- Try `emerge -eva x11-terms/terminal`, as in, rebuild the dependencies (deep) of terminal and then terminal itself.

Then if the problem persists, it's worth to put some time into this ... not before.

It is not stupid.
Thank you for remind.

About checking for reproduceability with clean profile I'm not shure: the bug appears not so often (and is not user-willingly reproducable): I'm not shure, that it will be pissible to work in clean profile until it appears (or not).
Anywhere, the issue only could be modified to the question of hadnling existing profiles.

While reading logs I've find that this bug looks similiarly with #387117 (the difference is in that icecat unlike terminal don't becomes unavailable for window close command of window manager).
The issue with terminal I've find first 12.01.2012 (after system update 11.01.2012).
But the ussue with IceCat browser is much more old (at least several months).

Now I'm rebuilding terminal with all dependencies (emerge -e x11-terms/terminal).
It looks strange, that portage have find some packages to be newly installed:

Doing so seems to solve the issue, in about a week the bug doesn't appeared.

right, so let's just assume one of the dependencies was broken and rebuilding fixed it.   in any case, it's impossible to trace it now :)

It is so.
But I think it's a time to point a question about exploring such issue. For future development.
