Hi! I just tried xmule-1.8.2-r3. As maintainer of the project you can expect me to have run the program a great deal. A new interesting bug cropped up with this particular build of xmule. Namely, after 4 hours of operation the menus are blank. We've had *entire* GUI blanking issues in the past, but this was supposedly fixed with wxGTK 2.4.2, indeed i haven't experienced that bug in a long time. However just menus being blank I have never experienced, nor have I ever had a similiar bug reported. I recompiled xmule-1.8.2-r3 with gcc 3.3 and the bug wasn't reproducable. I recompiled again with 3.4 and it happened again within 3 hours. My CXXFLAGS are -O2 -march=athlon-4 -fno-strict-aliasing nothing too extreme heh. I'm interested in any thing non-standard you do during the emerge process ... do you patch xmule code? use weird CXXFLAGS? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile r3 via gcc 3.4 2. Wait a few hours 3. Have a window popup Actual Results: Menu has a tendency to be blank while rest of gui is responsive.
This turned out to be a bug with gtk 2.4.1 and wx windows 2.4.2 when wx was compiled without -fPIC.
