These error messages are shown on console when I start devhelp. Taskbar shows devhelp's icon, but window itself is very small. amd@decoder breakmygentoo $ devhelp (devhelp-bin:22150): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 2575 (g_strrstr_len): assertion `haystack != NULL' failed (devhelp-bin:22150): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 2575 (g_strrstr_len): assertion `haystack != NULL' failed (devhelp-bin:22150): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfontbutton.c: line 693 (gtk_font_button_set_font_name): assertion `fontname != NULL' failed (devhelp-bin:22150): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfontbutton.c: line 693 (gtk_font_button_set_font_name): assertion `fontname != NULL' failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start devhelp 2.wait a bit Actual Results: Devhelp window doesn't show correctly.
Hmm, sure looks like an interesting bug. As I don't have the resources to re-create this bug, I'm assigning it to the gnome herd (the mantainers) to see if they might better evaluate the situation.
whats your 'emerge info' (always provide this, read the bugreport form!) ? And the fact that you use BMG stuff leads me to think that it might be causual related... so please make sure it's reproducable on a _clean_ gentoo only system or I'm closing this.
Not much from breakmygentoo on this machine, except gdm and evolution deps. Maybe it's libgtkhtml that's breaking it? amd@decoder breakmygentoo $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.14 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled]ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fforce-addr -falign-functions" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fforce-addr -falign-functions" DISTDIR="/home/root/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/root/tmp" PORTDIR="/home/root/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/root/breakmygentoo" SYNC="rsync://ftp.linux.ee/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib accessibility acl acpi alsa apache2 avi berkdb bindist bonobo canna cdr cjk composite crypt cscope cups curl dga directfb divx divx4linux dri dvd dvdr encode ethereal evo expat f77 faac faad fastcgi fbcon flac flash foomaticdb freetype freewnn fs gatos gcj gd gdbm gif gimpprint ginac gnome gnomedb gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hdf5 imap imlib innodb ipv6 jack java jbig jikes jpeg ladcca lcms ldap libgda libwww live mad mbox mcal mikmod mmx mng motif mozcalendar mozilla mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm mpeg mpi mysql nas ncurses nhc98 nls nntp nptl objc offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcmcia pda pdflib perl plotutils png pnp ppds prelude python qhull qt quicktime readline ruby samba sdk sdl slang slp smartcard snmp sox spell sqlite sse ssl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype trusted type1 unicode usb v4l v4l2 video_cards_ati128 wmf wxwindows x86 xfig xinerama xml xml2 xosd xv xvid zlib"

again, reproduce from a clean system and we'll listen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 45937 ***
Priit: All you need to do is resize the window once (remember to resize also left column, which is hidden). Look up any doc, then close Devhelp using menu; it should remember its window size after restart. This bug is not caused by bmg, at least not on my box.
Ok.. thanks worked... And it's not a "No Soup for You" bug...
