------- Comment #12 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-11-13 22:14 UTC ------- After reading the gtk docs (which are all too sparse on comments IMHO), it seems like gdk_spawn_on_screen should take care of it all. But since that wasn't happening, I looked into the code: gdk_spawn_on_screen is just a simple wrapper for g_spawn_async, which installs an additional function as child_setup. The wrapper uses g_setenv to set the display to the correct value, and then calls the user's child_setup. This wrapper child_setup is called right before the execve, so in reality the effect of g_setenv vanishes, because the execve replaces the environment with the one specified in envp, unless of course envp is null. But since xfce sets envp, it needs to include a correctly set DISPLAY. I don't know if this should be reported as a bug to gtk or not. It might not be a bug, but a poorly documented feature, afterall ;-). But please use the patch I attached for the time being, it is necessary. Note: I had to look through a bunch of functions to come to this conclusion, it's possible I overlooked something (and I'm by all means not particularly familiar with gtk/glib's internals). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
