Hi all,
I seem to have stumbled into two nasty bugs with gtk-qt-engine:
First, I couldn't use gnome's nm-applet because I was getting this error:
"GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process
is not supported"
Yes, nm-applet is now using GTK3. Unfortunately the reason it is
crashing is because we preload our kgtk library (LD_PRELOAD environment
variable). This kgtk library is based upon gtk2. any time those symbols
or code mixes, it will crash.
A workaround is to remove the variable and then launch it.
Second, I had been having some problems with Google
Chrome where changing
the default download directory wasn't working, it simply ignored the
directory I selected in the dialog. This seems to also have been causing me
a similar problema where e-mail attachments wouldn't be attached.
Since removing qtk-qt-engine to test this hypothesis, everything is working
as it should, despite being uglier.
What is worse is that even when selecting what I thought was a GTK3 theme
(oxygen-gtk), I still wasn't able to launch nm-applet and there was no
option to disable this behavior, though I haven't found bugs like this in
the past (and still don't on my Gentoo box running the patched KDE 3.5.10),
though I have seen instances where checkboxes aren't rendering
Should I submit a bug report or has anyone already found and filled
something like this?
Submit a bug report for gtk2 problems only, and the conflicts i
mentioned above. A GTK3 engine is on the wishlist but is unlikely to
happen anytime soon.
