That's what made the bug so obvious to me. Sometimes OpenOffice rendered its fonts nicely on my LCD monitor, sometimes it didn't. On some systems the only indication that this bug exists might be the output of `xrdb -query`. Try logging out and in again and run `xrdb -query`. Then repeat. Is the output the same? It should be the same each time. This bug was inadvertently fixed upstream by the fix for another bug. Since gnome-settings-daemon no longer calls xrdb, there is no longer a potential race condition between two xrdb processes resulting in one of them being ineffective. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586276 I'll close this bug now. Apparently nobody else experienced or noticed it. I'll just add the upstream patch into my private overlay until gnome 2.30 comes to portage. |
