Description James Ogley 2005-09-04 07:19:14 UTC 
When logging into GNOME, the gnome-settings-daemon crashes, causing the login
procedure to hang.

Logging into another WM, and running gnome settings results in the following
being outputed at the command line:

ogley@dhcp1:~> /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon

Gdk-ERROR **: unable to find a usable depth
aborting...

(process:7103): Gdk-CRITICAL (recursed) **: gdk_display_pointer_ungrab:
assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
aborting...
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialogue

Here is the backtrace from gdb:

Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 01:46:22 UTC 
What bit depth are you running at for X?
Comment 3 James Ogley 2005-09-05 06:45:15 UTC 
24 bit
Comment 4 James Ogley 2005-09-05 13:34:45 UTC 
The same behaviour seems to occur with various other GTK+ apps too.  I've
noticed it with evince and gpdf so far.

But, by no means all, evolution, firefox and gnome-terminal all work fine for
example.
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 13:38:00 UTC 
The first error shown comes from _gdk_visual_init, which looks through
XgetVisualInfo return for a 32,24,16,15,8,4,1 bit depth to use and throws up the
error if it can't find one.

Anything we can check in X stefan?
Comment 6 James Ogley 2005-09-05 13:43:28 UTC 
For information:

kcmshell xserver shows the bit depths (in full) as: 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2005-09-06 18:28:29 UTC 
How many virtual desktops do you have?
Comment 8 James Ogley 2005-09-06 20:38:42 UTC 
Just to clarify we're using the same terminology, if you mean what Metacity
calls "Workspaces", I have 4, but I don't see how that affects the colour depth.

If you mean something else, let me know...
Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-06 21:13:07 UTC 
Maybe Egbert can help here.
Comment 10 James Ogley 2005-09-07 06:16:47 UTC 
Just to mention I've also submitted bug #115554 - in case it's related, it may
be completely seperate.
Comment 11 JP Rosevear 2005-09-07 11:20:27 UTC 
For #8 Its possibly related because of gdk_x11_screen_get_screen_number.

Attaching gtk 2.8.3 rpms to see if it solves this problem as well.

Comment 13 James Ogley 2005-09-07 12:54:29 UTC 
Any chance of the -doc and -devel packages too?

dhcp1:/home/install # rpm -Uvh gtk2-2.8.3-3.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        gtk2 = 2.8.2 is needed by (installed) gtk2-doc-2.8.2-5

Should be everything you need
Comment 17 James Ogley 2005-09-07 14:04:07 UTC 
Yeah, that has fixed it, nice one.
