Hello, Recently (perhaps due to an upgrade to the system, or similar - I'm unsure when exactly it happened) gtk apps stopped working (the apps don't display any gui - just sit there taking up 100% cpu). This happens with all gtk apps tested - e.g. gimp, inkscape, gnumeric. Compiling gtk with debugging support shows the same backtrace: #0 gdk_visual_decompose_mask (mask=0, shift=0x89d46c, prec=0x89d470) at gdkvisual-x11.c:611 #1 0x00002aaaab72c6c8 in _gdk_visual_init (screen=0x89b6c0) at gdkvisual-x11.c:194 #2 0x00002aaaab72a81f in _gdk_x11_screen_new (display=0x899cc0, screen_number=0) at gdkscreen-x11.c:429 #3 0x00002aaaab714511 in IA__gdk_display_open (display_name=0x0) at gdkdisplay-x11.c:183 #4 0x00002aaaab6f8c6a in IA__gdk_display_open_default_libgtk_only () at gdk.c:272 #5 0x00002aaaab3ec63b in IA__gtk_init_check (argc=0x0, argv=0x89d46c) at gtkmain.c:702 It seems like they are stuck in the following while loop in gdkvisual-x11.c (as shown by the backtrace): while (!(mask & 0x1)) { (*shift)++; mask >>= 1; } However, I don't know enough about gtk to investigate any further - so perhaps someone has suggestions on what is going wrong / how to fix this?
