Bug#315083: libgtk2.0-0: breaks mozilla-firefox on amd64

[A Costa]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.6.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #315083


I believe this bug is probably not minor.

For example, it breaks 'gnome-terminal':

    % gnome-terminal

    (gnome-terminal:8130): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

...the above error message repeats for 7 screens, while GT pops up blank,
and has to be killed.  Another example:

    % querybts -w gnome-terminal
    /usr/bin/sensible-browser

    (x-www-browser:4270): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

...(on my system 'x-www-browser' is 'galeon'.

    % galeon ; echo $?

    (galeon:8153): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

    { I hit 'Ctrl-C'... }

    130

...'epiphany' is also broken:

    % epiphany

    (epiphany:8213): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

...note the same line number in G & E, "8213".  'firefox' does
start up, though with a similar but not identical error:

    % firefox 

    (firefox-bin:8222): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

Surprisingly, (to me anyway), 'mozilla' works OK, no error at all.

Worst of all, I can't start 'X' with 'gnome-sawfish' -- it's just a
blank screen, no icons, capplets, menus, and the mouse buttons don't
work.  (I feel grateful to have other window managers to fall back
on...)

A web search for similar errors turns up this:

    #315462 sunclock: Segfaults
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=315462

...which might be merged with this bug.  Of course the severity should
be changed.  If it turns out to be hard to fix, maybe it should be
cloned to the above packages.


Hope this helps...
