Description Georgi Georgiev 2005-06-27 21:22:55 UTC
Upgrading to gtk+-2.6.8 (from 2.6.7) makes firefox behave very strange. I get this message every time:

chutz@lion ~ $ firefox 
No running windows found

(firefox-bin:307938): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

This is only a cosmetic problem, but some real problems include:

- Running "firefox -p" flashes the profile manager window for a moment and it then disappears. Using the window menu of windowmaker and selecting the firefox window displays it, but it simply pops up from nowhere.

- Very often the initial window of firefox is with weird size like about 20x10 or 100x10 pixels.

- Even more often the initial firefox window does not even show up

This happens with gtk+-2.6.8 and downgrading to gtk+-2.6.7 fixes all of these problems.
