libxfcegui4-4.2.2 (and probably previous versions of libxfcegui4-4.2.*, I haven't tested them) relied on the way the text string on GtkLabel overflowed if it was too long; this behavior changed sometime during gtk+-2.7, and now gtk+-2.8 has been released. As a result, for example, the labels on the xfce4 taskbar overflow the button boundaries and jumble together. I think that existing ebuilds for libxfcegui4-4.2.* should be marked RDEPEND <gtk+-2.7, and new versions with the appropriate patch should be added. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =libxfcegui4-4.2.2 2. emerge >=gtk+-2.8 3. startxfce4 Actual Results: taskbar : [ user@mybox:/usr/lib/xf]ce4/mcs-plugins Expected Results: taskbar : [ user@mybox:/usr/li...]
Created attachment 66186 [details, diff] 4.2.2-taskbar-gtk-2.8.patch This is derived from a patch in upstream bugzilla (http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099), but it has been changed slightly because the upstream patches don't work quite right.
Created attachment 67851 [details] Screenshot before patching libxfcegui4 I had this problem after upgrading to gtk 2.8. Applying the patch fixes it! The screenshot I've attached shows how it looked like before patching.

Applied, thank you :)
Reopening this bug. With gtk 2.8.8 being stable and both libxfcegui4.2.2 and 4.2.2-r1 stable on most arches, this bug affects all stable users that do not update their systems via emerge -uD world (or have libxfcegui in their world file). Wouldn't it be a good idea to bump them to -r1?

had the same gtk+ compile error on amd64. the following procedure worked: emerge cairo emerge pango emerge gtk+

(In reply to comment #10) > What do you want to bump, actually? Doesn't make sense. What needs to be > stabilized? As i said in #5, it's already stable, but unless you manually emerge -u1 libxfcegui or emerge -uD world (which not all people do necessarily), you won't get the fixed version. That's a potential problem, so i suggested to bump those users to -r1. And by bumping i didn't mean making the already stable -r1 stable, but doing something else that automatically triggers the update (e.g. removing/masking the broken version, would that trigger an upgrade on emerge -u world? Not sure, but that's not my decision to make anyway) Not really an issue any more because dostrow (iirc) said some newer version will go stable soon anyway.
Closing again.
