gdb trace

Create a new image (for example 640×480 from template with white background, 72 dpi, and grayscale color space)
Choose File → Export, then click on your ‘Desktop’ folder, name the file like 'g', select GIF file format from the drop-down menu for exporting and press ‘Export’ button.
See export dialog window freeze while buttons on the toolbars are still clickable.

I’ve found that it was shiki-colors gtk theme that was breaking gimp. With raleigh it works fine. Can I somehow define what exactly in this theme is breaking its interface?

I’ve done some further investigation and it seems that shiki-colors on the murrine engine from the official site http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/downloads/detail?name=shiki-colors-murrine-4.6.tar.gz makes gimp to hang, while its clearlooks version, that comes with x11-themes/shiki-colors in the main repo, does not. I’ve also tried x11-themes/zukitwo-2012.07.02 on the unico engine and it fails, too.
Comment 5 dtr 2014-01-07 01:12:02 UTC
Through experiments I noticed that bug appears with the Shiki-colors theme on the murrine engine (original one) only if Terminus font is selected. With any other font, DejaVu Sans, for example, GIMP works well.

However, I resolved this bug by updating sys-app/file to version 5.15. Old one had a broken libmagic which also caused nano segmentation fault after pressing ^O (to save document), but I didn’t think these bugs are related.
