Bug#361355: gnome_segv2 segfaults when using Solaris 2.7 X server

> Does this crash still happen with libgnomeui 2.18?

Yes.  You get an infinite loop of blank windows popping up and:

gnome_segv:
/home/dajobe/dev/debian/cairo/libcairo-1.4.4/src/cairo-image-surface.c:199:
_cairo_format_from_pixman_format: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.
Error: Cairo 1.4.4 does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 8
        Alpha mask: 0x00000000
        Red   mask: 0x00000000
        Green mask: 0x00000000
        Blue  mask: 0x00000000

(Repeat until you manage to get an interrupt into the original window.)

This is current unstable, libgnomeui-0 2.18.1-2 and libcairo2 1.4.4-1.


The infinite loop would be worth fixing in libgnomeui, although it's
not totally obvious how.

The basic cause of the assert fail is bug #348109.


Anyway, thanks for remembering!
