Package: libpango1.0-0 Version: 1.8.0-3 Severity: normal Hello,
In trying to port wmakerconf from GTK+ 1.2 to GTK+ 2.x, I have come across the problem that wmakerconf no longer understands color strings of the format rgb:RR/GG/BB (where RR, GG and BB are integers in hex format). The reason is that gdk_color_parse() was formerly a wrapper around XParseColor() and is now a wrapper around pango_color_parse(). Further investigation reveals that pango_color_parse() has no mechanism to understand this format of color specification. This is annoying for two reasons: first, functionality present in an earlier version of GTK+ has been lost for no good reason. Second, the GTK+ API reference for version 2.8 is now misleading, since it untruthfully states of gdk_color_parse(): The text string can be in any of the forms accepted by XParseColor. Please add back this functionality to pango_color_parse(). I'll submit a patch myself if I have time in the next few days; otherwise, it doesn't seem like a difficult job. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libpango1.0-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpango1.0-common 1.8.0-3 Modules and configuration files fo ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information regards, -- Kevin B.
