hi,
after i upgraded to gtk-2.6.x (2.6.1), i'm getting this message when using gtk programs:
failed in listen(): Invalid argument.
gentoo linux here.
gthumb and eclipse for example are doing this.
i tried to recompile gthumb (with gtk-2.6), didn't help.
for gthumb it's a just a message, but in the case of eclipse, after some time eclipse says that "fail to create socket: Too many open files".
and i have to stop/kill eclipse, because he won't work anymore.
coincidentally, my openoffice install that is the ximian-style openoffice (using the gtk file chooser and so on),
also stopped working with gtk-2.6.
for eclipse, my solution was to compile a gtk-2.4.* into a local directory, and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell eclipse to use that gtk. this fixed the problem.
any ideas about what am i doing wrong? or should i create a bugreport? does this seem to be a gtk bug or a gentoo bug?
