Description sap 2010-07-03 07:14:53 UTC

My xpad notes are all shown in the right size, but the content of the windows are all grey and no content is displayed. The error message shown if started from a terminal:
GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `XpadPad' can't be set after construction

Data is not lost and can be found in ~/.config/xpad/ 

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 sap 2010-07-03 07:23:13 UTC

The problem might originally be related to a gtk update, but I'm not really sure.
I found a solution in a archlinux forum and in the launchpad bug reports. I attached the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/xpad/+bug/591978
How to fix:
1. make a local overlay for x11-misc/xpad
(I followed http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Local_Overlays )
2. apply the attached patch
(I followed http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_unpack/epatch/index.html )
3. re-emerge

Why did you change this to RESOLVED FIXED?  You should reopen it so that a developer will actually look at this and possibly commit the fix.

I can confirm the same problem on my system (with GTK 2.20.1). The attached patch does seem to resolve it.

Comment 4 sap 2010-07-07 05:12:31 UTC

Sorry, I didn't really think about it. Your absolutly right; I guess I set it to resolved since there is a patch, but the original package is still broken.
Thanks for the hint :)

patch for xpad-4.0.ebuild

Hi,
I applied the above patch here, and it works fine. I'll attached a patch against the current 4.0 ebuild which is in portage, with the above patch renamed to 'fix-gobject.patch'. It would be nice to have this in the tree. Thanks.

(In reply to comment #5)

In EAPI 2, patches should be applies in src_prepare().
