Possible workaround to this bug



Hi

Today Rui Lopes proposed a workaround to this bug: using the clearlooks GTK engine to perform widget drawing. As Rui proved, clearlooks engine performs correctly all those widget rendering operations that are badly performed by gtkdfb (libpixmap?). Both Rui and me were able to compile corretly the engine library and also to run successfully the cdebconf with GTK frontend, the GIMP and the gtk-demo app. This bug was already reported upstream and GTKDFB maintainer said he now has a clue about where to look at to fix it. But, as d-i RC1 date is getting closer and he may not make it in time, having an option to a proper fix for this bug may be advisable. With this mail i'm trying to investigate if using the clearlooks engine as default in the graphical debian-installer is a reasonable idea.

thanks

Attilio
