Bug#238400: xfree86: breaks different applications with badvalue error
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Package: xfree86
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I had to search for long to adress this problem to the X.
When I start on my system vmware (locales dosn't mater) or audacity
(only with non US locales) the applications do not start and give a
error like:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
serial 881 error_code 2 request_code 45 minor_code 0
(The serial might be different.)
When I start such a application from a remote system everythink works.
The problem starts when I updated from the inoficial 4.3.0-0ds4 to the
new official packages.
The problem might be conected to fonts, ttfonts or something this kind.
See also Bug #234994 of the libgtk1.2 package. This seems to be the same
problem.
