emerge mplayer-0.90_rc4 with USE="gtk2" compiles fine but I do not get a menu
when I right click on the video window (this does work when compiled with gtk1).
I do however get a menu with a middle click in both versions, but this is not
the standart gtk menu and is not as functional as the standard gtk menu (has
much fewer options). I guess the gtk2 patch does not allow for this menu?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gtk2" emerge mplayer
2. start gmplayer
3. right click on video window

Actual Results:  
not so much

Expected Results:  
popped up a gtk menu

Known issue.  I should check with the author if he got it working already.

Author too busy :(, so no fix in near future.  I also know next to nothing about
gtk2 coding, so ...

The right-click menu is now a middle-click menu. 

Does that still warrant a bug report?

There are two menu's .. right and middle.  With gtk2 the right-click one do not
work.  I am not a gtk+ coder, and the author do not have the time.

is this still an issue ?

Comment 6 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Yep - I don't think the gtk2 frontend has even been updated

Comment 7 Thomas Schuetz 2004-02-03 08:46:14 UTC

Err, the bug is one year old and still alive and the buggy patch is in all actual mplayer-ebuilds - why? If the patch is buggy and no one has the time or motivation to repair it, just don't use the patch!

Comment 8 STefan 2004-03-10 13:38:10 UTC

Hey folks what's up, why does nobody disable the gtk2 part in the ebuild?????


GTK2 is not working correct so drop it, this is really annoying especially to those beginners.

Does anyone mind if I just fix this?

This bug is very old and nothing has been done about this.  I have no problem simply removing the gtk2-specific parts of the ebuild and have verified that doing so in the latest ebuild causes the menu to start working again.

Yeah, I would say go ahead. Make sure you look at the Changlog to get an idea of the latest security fix that had to take into account several versions because of architecture specifics.

OK... I have removed all of the gtk stuff from the ebuilds.  The patches are still in the ${FILESDIR} so hopefully we can fix them at some point.  I updated every version in portage and did *not* bump the versions simply because of the trainwreck that is the revision numbers for mplayer... ;]
