Cannot run shaman and got a GTK-Warning

$ shaman

(process:5744): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

    http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

Refusing to initialize GTK+.

And I have qgtkstyle-svn installed for QT themestyle.
Hope the authors of shaman to know this.

Re: Cannot run shaman and got a GTK-Warning

as super user do

chmod -s /usr/bin/shaman

i assume the command to run it is /usr/bin/shaman

maybe report a bug to the shaman packager if
it came that way in a pkg

That will cause shaman to stop working: http://shaman.iskrembilen.com/trac/wiki … ged%20user

So it looks like that theme is just not compatible.  Report a bug on the shaman bug tracker (http://shaman.iskrembilen.com/trac/report) for the shaman devs to see this.

Hi everyone, i had the same problem as riverscn, i solved it thanks to kumyco tip, it worked for me, but only if i launch Shaman with gksu, otherwise, it brakes like Allan said.

Thanks kumyco and Allan.

See ya.

Re: Cannot run shaman and got a GTK-Warning

QGtkStyle has been fixed so it will fall back to cleanlooks instead of trying to load Gtk in this case.

Re: Cannot run shaman and got a GTK-Warning

It will work fine with gksudo because then the app doesnt have to call setuid. I fixed it so it would not crash without gtksudo.

Re: Cannot run shaman and got a GTK-Warning

Start a new thread rather than bumping one that is a year old and has a different problem to you...
