Bug 294124 – [PATCH] x11-misc/google-gadgets-0.11.1 incompatible with gtk+-2.18

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2009-11-23 00:48:08 UTC]

Due to changes in the way gtk+-2.18 optimizes expose events (see http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.18/gtk-migrating-ClientSideWindows.html), the gtk version of google-gadgets (both the xulrunner and the webkit variants) no longer works: gadgets do not update their rendering (this is easiest to see with the analog clock gadget, which now stands still) and do not respond to UI elements until you hide all/show all gadgets using the notification area icon.
