when having the -msse2 flag in CFLAGS, gtk+ 1.2.10-r11 will compile, but the library will be faulty. for example, it won't display content in tabbed dialogs. see bug #52927 for more details on the error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gtk+ 1.2.10-r11 with -msse2 in CFLAGS 2. emerge gtkdiff, or gimp, or vmware, or other gtk programs 3. look at tabbed dialogs, like Settings->Preferences in gtkdiff, and see: nothing! :) Actual Results: the tabbed dialogs all contain nothing when displayed Expected Results: the tabbed dialogs should show their proper content. see bug #52927 for additional information, as I first found this problem when trying to run vmware. there are screenshots attached to that bug, displaying the problem.
this is not a gtk fault.. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46944 ***
well, the GTK ebuild better watch form -msse2 in CFLAGS, and remove it when compiling....
CFLAGS are users responsability. For more info on this same issue, take a look at bug #50616. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46944 ***
