Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gxmessage
displaying extremely long button causes the window manager to crash.
test case :
emanuel@emanuel-desktop:~$ gxmessage text -buttons `python -c "print
'A'*115000"`
(gxmessage:8096): Gdk-WARNING **: Native Windows wider or taller than 65535
pixels are not supported
The program 'gxmessage' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
(Details: serial 316 error_code 158 request_code 148 minor_code 23)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
** Affects: gxmessage (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
