Yesterday I built most of a new desktop on current LFS. Looking at my buildscripts, very little seems to have changed since the last build, apart from a newer freetype (2.3.4) (fontconfig is 2.4.2) and lots of extra TTF fonts. X is 7.2 with xcb, gtk+ is 2.10.11 (I'm fairly sure those haven't changed).
There were a few minor version upgrades to gnome packages (2.18.1 from 2.18), but I'm fairly sure they aren't relevant to the problem because the affected packages are the gimp (which I build before gnome) and abiword. The only other packages with 'save as' which I have tested are firefox and gnumeric, they both work normally. If I try to 'save as' from the gimp or abiword, the dialog keeps repainting, alternately at its original size and a bit wider. This gives the appearance of a flashing dialog. I can close it, but I can also drag it out wider with the mouse, at which point it settles down. I cannot then shrink it back to the original size - it looks as if the wider of the two alternating versions is the correct minimum size. Trying to google for this is getting nothing, I'm not even sure what keywords I should look for. Has anybody seen anything like this ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
