Problem with gtk?
by Joshua Facemyer / Impressus Art
I've had a problem with inkscape fairly frequently when I start it the
first time after starting X (I use XFCE on gentoo). It doesn't happen
every time, but frequently, and if I restart X, it usually goes away.
The problem is that I can't actually edit anything on the canvas,
whether I open a new file or an existing one. All the buttons and
dialogs behave correctly - except they don't do anything on the canvas.
Is this a known problem? It's persistent for me through several
versions, and I'm using both .44 and .45-pre1.
Right now, however, I've just upgraded to XFCE4.4 and gtk2+-2.10.9 and I
can't edit the canvas at all in either version, even after rebooting the
whole computer. I'm not sure if I should recompile inkscape, but it
doesn't seem right (I upgraded gtk from a previous 2.10 version, not
sure exactly which).
I searched bugs and didn't see anything like this.
Thanks.
