Comment on attachment 359500 [details] gdb trace After gimp freezed, it was killed by -11 signal.
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.
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.
