Description Torbjörn Svensson 2004-08-13 10:49:39 UTC 
After I have had gDeskCal running for a while, it just dies and this is what I get in my log: 
The program 'gdeskcal' recived an X Windows System error.
This probobly reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: Serial 4001209 error_code 13 request_code 62 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will recieve 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 debuger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Hope this helps to naildown the bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. just start gdeskcal and let it run for a while..
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gdeskcal craches with the above message

Expected Results:  
no crash :)

Comment 3 Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-13 18:43:54 UTC 
this is _not_ a critical bug
Comment 4 Ruben Faelens 2006-08-02 14:53:43 UTC 
I run gdeskcal without any problems. In your make.conf, you have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". Maybe this bug is more related to instable libraries, than to gdeskcal itself?

I don't think it's right to let gdeskcal disappear out of the portage tree, solely because of this bug (and the fact that it's been unmaintained for 2 years). I'm not able to reproduce this behavior in my installation.
Comment 5 Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-01 20:43:39 UTC 
Closing because gdeskcal is no longer in the tree.
