i have a problem with various xscreensaver modules that use image files (such as jigsaw or twang). when they try to grab an image file to use i get the following error: (process:31907): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:1806:g_type_register_static(): initialization assertion failed, use g_type_init() prior to this function (process:31907): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 585 (g_object_new): assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed all images are standard .gif, .bmp and .jpg images. image directory is set in .xscreensaver with the imageDirectory optiion.
I have noticed this too, i think it started with the move to gdk-pixbuf functions instead of external apps to grab an image. It is probably a configure problem (the Changelog of xscreensaver suggests there are still problems), but i haven't found it yet.
The new masked version in portage (4.06) fixed it for me, can you test and confirm ?
well it isn't fixed in the current unmasked version. should only be marked resolved when 4.06 is released. i still have the same problem.
Well, you never even commented back, which would help in unmasking it. As far as i'm concerned it is fixed, in time 4.06 will be unmasked and there's no point in keeping this open until then.
