I installed gtk+2.4.9 on my ppc64 2004.2 successfully, but in Gnome I had a probelm with cursor keys: keys <up> and <down> didnt function as expected, actually they were just like <right> and <left> keys. I tried many gtk+ based apps, all had the same problem. So I reverted to gtk+2.4.4, the problem went away.

there a patch line in the 2.4.9-r1 ebuild saying 'smoothscroll', if you comment it out & recompile, does the problem go away ?
No. I've just tried it, the problem's there.
can't reproduce & no further reports, it might be hw specific
Well, but there is no problem with gtk+-2.4.4. I tried the latest 2.4.13 too. It also has the problem in my system.

I updated my system, gnome 2.8 and many other things, including gtk+ 2.4.9. Now it seems only gedit(2.8.0) has the problem. The cursor keys in apps like abiword, gvim and emacs function correctly. For gedit in my system: <left>,<up>,<pageup> and <home> have same effect; <right>,<down>,<pagedown> and <end> have same effect.
Oh, no. It seems all applications based on gtk+ have the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Any progress in solving this problem?
Created attachment 46870 [details, diff] patch for gtk+-2.4.9-r1.ebuild
Created attachment 46871 [details, diff] patch for gtk+-2.4.6 and later version on ppc64 file name is gtk+-2.4.9-ppc64.patch
I think that a problem is solvable by applying these patches for the time being. Please try!
Created attachment 46872 [details, diff] patch for gtk+-2.4.14.ebuild
Good job! That did the trick. Now gtk+ works fine on my system. Thank you very much.
Well done Yuta SATOH! I've added gtk+-2.4.9-r2 with the patch to portage and marked it stable on ppc64 only. I've also added the patch to gtk+-2.4.14 and will remove 2.4.9-r2 when 2.4.14 gets stable. Markus
