…and no crashes either with 1.39 at a random commit with Compiz under Debian Buster. So either those don't reproduce the issue, or simply setting `XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1` for the Geany process isn't enough to cause the issue. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:

Possibly, but I just tried enabling Metacity's compositor (xrender) with no crashes either. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3843#issuecomment-2122542648 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Message ID:

I dunno, thats what came up related to `XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS`, anyway not worth learning now, Wayland is the future. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3843#issuecomment-2121988695 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to

@elextr I wouldn't trust X11R6 release notes on this :). It possibly was not useful back then, but it seems useful for transparency in apps. Then again I might lack knowledge on this, but it seems to be the generally accepted idea. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:

@felixzng cool, that's also instructive and might allow to actually fix it. No guarantee, but at least we've got an idea where to look (unchecked usage of ARGB visuals) -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3843#issuecomment-2120427383 You

Finally was able to track this down to env var XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1. This caused crashes for some gtk based apps like geany, pluma etc... unsettling it works. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3843#issuecomment-2120393166 You

There are some reports of weirdnesses with XWayland and GTK, which have been fixed by running Geany as Wayland as I mentioned. But havn't had any reports that can be traced to real xorg and GTK (that my quick search on Geany issues found anyway), and it is just fine on my Linux Mint (which is

Its hard to say anything except that the problem occurs inside the X11 library called from GDK called from GTK during the initialisation of the displays called from Geany at line `#11`. We don't even know the version of Geany. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:
