[gentoo-user] ethereal bug?

[gentoo-user] ethereal bug?

[James]

Hello,

When I run ethereal as root (su -p) in a kde session,
it dies off when I end the capture session. I do not use
gnome, so I do not know if the problem exist there.

If I comment out this line:
gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
#gtk-alternative-button-order = 1

in the file:
.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc

It does not die off (temporary fix)

But each time I reboot the portable 
I have to edit the file again.

Can somebody duplicate this problem?
Nothing shows up in bugzilla, so if 
I can get somebody to verify the problem
(i.e. it's not something I'm doing) I shall
file a bug report.....

What KDE theme & style are you using?  I don't seem to have this setting 
(or problem) in my gtkrc file...so I think maybe it is a theme-specific 
issue.

Good question. I have never set this(these) setting. Going through
'control panel'
Theme Manager    Nothing is selected or highlighted under
'Choose your visual KDE theme:

At the bottom under 'style' is says 'plastik is the 'widget style'.
Can you be more specific as to what parameters I need to look at,
or maybe they are consolitdated in a config file somewhere?

You can check your current style/theme at:

~ > grep CurrentTheme .kde3.4/share/config/kcmthememanagerrc
CurrentTheme=Plastik
~ > grep widgetStyle .kde3.4/share/config/kdeglobals
widgetStyle=Plastik

Also, I did some more checking.  I do not have the 
gtk-alternative-button-order setting in .kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc file, 
but it *is* in my .kde3.4/.../gtkrc-2.0 file.  Coincidentally, my USE 
flags for ethereal specify gtk2.0:

carcharias rjf # emerge -Dv --pretend ethereal
...
[ebuild   R   ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.12  -adns -gtk +gtk2 +ipv6 
-kerberos -snmp +ssl 0 kB

Are you building ethereal against gtk1.2 or gtk2.0?

Oddly, this file is not present on my system. Here's the 
listing:
ls .kde3.4/share/config/kcm*
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmartsrc        .kde3.4/share/config/kcminputrc
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmaudiocdrc     .kde3.4/share/config/kcmkresourcesrc
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmbellrc        .kde3.4/share/config/kcmlaptoprc
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmcddbrc        .kde3.4/share/config/kcmmidirc
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmdisplayrc     .kde3.4/share/config/kcmnspluginrc
.kde3.4/share/config/kcmfontinstuirc  .kde3.4/share/config/kcmshellrc


> ~ > grep widgetStyle .kde3.4/share/config/kdeglobals

Even more strange, I have this file, but there is nothing
that matches even a substring of widget 'idget'

the only substring matches I get are for 'Style'
XftHintStyle=hintmedium
View Style=Simple

emerge -Dv --pretend ethereal <reveals>

[ebuild   R   ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.12  -adns -gtk +gtk2 +ipv6 -kerberos
-snmp +ssl 0 kB

Very strange...at this point, I would suggest logout of kde, move 
.kde3.4 to .kde3.4.old, and login again.  Everything will be set back to 
KDE defaults, so you can try ethereal again and see if you have the same 
problem.

Well I did as you suggested, even rebooting the machine, and still ethereal
dies off when a capture is started. I think I'm going to file a boog report
on this one and use the work around until it is fix, I figure out what is
wrong, or a way to permanently fix the offending file:

in the file:
.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc

#gtk-alternative-button-order = 1

still fixes the problem, but it does not survive a log out/in cycle...

Thanks for all the help.

James
