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.
