More data:
On an i386 laptop when I run system-config-printer I get this:
# system-config-printer
*** BUG ***
In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug
I'm guessing that this means to run gdb, set a breakpoint, and then
run the program. However, "the program" is a shell script which runs
a python script, /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py,
but gdb is useful only on compiled programs, not on these scripts,
even if I knew how to use it.
I've run 'strace system-config-printer' which produces prodigious
output, but no enlightenment, only this same info:
write(2, "*** BUG ***\nIn pixman_region32_i"..., 117*** BUG ***
In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug
with nothing preceding it that suggests the cause of this error (to
me).
A similar F21 install on an old AMD Athlon i386 system works
differently. The icons in s-c-p are sized normally.
I've searched for differences that might account for this without
success.
