Bug 324667 – x11-misc/pcmanfm: Internal copy of xfce-base/exo is broken w/ GTK+-2.20

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Marcus Becker 2010-06-19 09:33:27 UTC]

I just thought you guys should know that gtk upgrade makes detailed view in pcmanfm unuseable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612802

Since the problem exists since april and isn't fixed yet (at least in pcmanfm) this should be looked at. The arch linux guys wrote some patch/mod to fix it.
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18904?project=1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use x11-libs/gtk+ 2.20.1-r1
2. switch in pcmanfm or thunar to "detailed view"
3. try to browse a folder or open a file


Actual Results:  
you cannot choose files with the mouse anymore

Expected Results:  
as in "icon view" mark and open files/folders

x11-misc/pcmanfm-0.5.2  USE="hal"
x11-libs/gtk+-2.20.1-r1  USE="jpeg tiff (-aqua) -cups -debug -doc -jpeg2k -test -vim-syntax -xinerama"

Xfce team, this is the patch to include:
http://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/patch/?id=cd80ae7747aa87ab6d72f08386b0fd4bea7f05b3

Thanks for your research, Pacho.

pcmanfm is coming with internal copy of exo, it's not using the system version... so patching this is xfce-base/exo, won't help pcmanfm at all.

Futhermore, this commit is included in the exo-0.3.107 we have in tree:

    Make the treeview work again with gtk 2.20 (bug #6230).



not a xfce bug

[Comment 6 Andrew Brouwers 2010-07-06 18:32:06 UTC]

Other distros (fedora and debian, for example) seem to have bumped to the re-written 0.9.x version to go with GTK 2.20.x .  While a patch might be possible, it probably is not the best long-term solution.  All of the information so far suggest that 0.5.x really is dead and getting no attention.

Any chance for this version to be un-masked and eventually worked in to stable?

I plan to unmask 0.9.7-r1 soonish

We wont bother fixing 0.5.X
