Bug 54081 – gkrellm2 crashes with the transparent theme after upgading icewm

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description m0sia 2004-06-16 05:56:56 UTC]

I upgraded icewm_1.2.14_pre9 to icewm_1.2.14. now gkrellm2.2.1 crashes with one of my own transparent theme. 
The error:

The program 'gkrellm2' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 2339 error_code 9 request_code 14 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

$cat gkrellmrc

images need by theme are transparent png.

Reproducible: Always

it is not gkrellm2 problem. it is problem in new icewmbg code(i don't no where). gkrellm2 in transparent mode tries to get image from root window and it fails. the same error has Eterm in transparent mode.
to solve the problem now i use Esetroot(from Eterm) instead of icewmbg. everything works ok.

Are you sure about that?  This is the same misbehavior as bug# 52877.

I'm running metacity-2.8.1 but I get the same error.  This did not happen with gkrellm versions prior to 2.2.0.

[Comment 3 m0sia 2004-06-19 03:01:04 UTC]

1)of cource im'm not sure, because i'm not a developer. but i solved my problem with Esetroot(instead of icewmbg). 
2)By the way the main diffrence between gkrellm 2.1.x & 2.2.x is pango library. maybe it is pango problem. try to upgrade pango.

could you do me a favor and try this on icewm-1.2.15_pre1 that is in portage?
i can not reproduce this here, with either 1.2.14 or 1.2.15_pre1 and i would like to know if this still an issue for you in the latest pre release of 1.2.15

thank you in advance for your time

did changing gkrellm versions (comment #2) and or icewm version (up to 1.2.15_pre2 now) change anything on this behaviour?

[Comment 6 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2004-08-05 21:23:47 UTC]

Problem appears to be with gkrellm not icewm + no reply from OP
