I created a new user. PCB closes immediately after the window opens.
With my usual user, it does not close immediately, but only after a
redraw in the working area. I am assuming that for the new user, there
is some kind of welcome display which causes redraw and triggers the
segfault, but it is too fast to see. This is Debian unstable, with a
completely default user and Xfce. I do not think I have ever changed
the default theming on my normal user.
I tried running in gdb, but I'm not really familiar with debugging, and
I wasn't able to get anywhere. I loaded as many symbol files as I could
find in the dependencies of pcb-gtk, there are five threads running at
the time of failure, and the other threads have backtraces with
filenames. The thread which is failing has a backtrace with no
filenames.
Running under gdb, I can see that the window decorations redraw
correctly, it is a redraw in the working area which does not work, and
which triggers the segfault. I can resize the window smaller OK, but
not larger. I can move another window over the sidebar, status bar and
menu area, everywhere except the working area.
Best regards,
Joe
