Package: libgtk2.0-bin
Version: 2.12.1-1
Severity: important


I run lenny on a couple of machines, with XFCE4. I have been quite
happy with it. Recently I wanted to install vlc from sid, so I mixed
versions for a few things including libgtk2.0-bin (which I had to
upgrade from 2.10.x to 2.12.1-1). Then my XFCE4 panel started behaving
in strange ways. It hung after a while if I clicked on it; the mouse
moves but keyboard and mouse clicks do not respond. dmesg does not say
anything, and killing running programs does not solve the issue.
Restarting xfce-session from a remote console solved the problem.

I reverted to 2.10.x and everything was fine again. But
recently libgtk2.0-bin in lenny bumped from 2.10.x to 2.12.1-1, and now
I'm experiencing the same old problems on my main machine (i386).
Today I have seen the same happen on my other machine, a different
architecture (a powerpc macmini) with a similar configuration, so it
seems like a true gtk2.0 issue. If I can do anything further to isolate
the issue I would be happy to.
