[Bug 78665] Re: libgtk2.0 upgrade broke things in gtk apps such as mousepad and gedit

[Lance Poore]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-0
  
- I received some updates tonight for feisty.  One of which was libc6-i686
- as well as just the libc6 package.  I was trying to edit some files in
- mousepad and noticed when I clicked the Open option from the file menu
- it froze mousepad, I restarted X and tried again, same issue.  I fired
- up gedit and got the same problem.   I was running both as root.
- However if i ran gedit as a normal user it worked fine.  When i tried
- running mousepad as a normal user I got a segfault, so I decided to
- debug mousepad with gdb.  This is the results:

  0xb7aacd5f in gdk_drawable_get_screen () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
  
  
  As you can see it refers to the file /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
  
  dpkg says these files are part of libgtk2.0-0
  
  $ dpkg --search libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
  libgtk2.0-0: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.7
  libgtk2.0-0: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
  
  
  Hopefully this is enough information for anyone to regenerate the issue and confirm it is a major bug.
  
  thanks
