Sonata-1.2.1-1 bug ?

Ramses de Norre · 2007-07-19 12:34:50

I've installed the new sonata-1.2.1-1 package, but when I open sonata all my gtk apps switch to some ugly, grey gtk theme and some lock up because of this (e.g. firefox). I have no clue why this happens, I downgraded to 1.1.1-1 for now and the problem is gone.
Does anyone know what could cause this? Otherwise I'll file a bug.

I don't know.
I use sonata-1.2.1-1 and don't have this problem....

haven't experienced this. did notice if i pick a local image for my album cover it deletes it right out of the directory though. kind of annoying.

Maybe it's a problem with your gtk theme... see if it works properly with another one. I highly doubt Sonata can cause this issue.

Heh, this is fixed in svn. This code has existed for a very long time, and I didn't hear about this bug until just last night for the first time. And now you're the second person to mention it in two days

yeah, seems to be ok as long as i don't try and update the album cover... i would install svn, but i'm about to go out. i will do later maybe.

I've tried with Industrial, Clearlooks-visto and some other which I don't remember the name of and with all of them it happened. My fonts change to some incredible huge pixel height (like 12pt) and all gtk stuff gets some grey/yellow color... (really ugly).
I have no idea how to solve this... I am using openbox from the repo and the industrial theme now.

Can you post your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file? Also, do you use any other GTK+ apps, and if so, do they not have the problem that you experience with Sonata?

Ramses de Norre · 2007-07-20 23:32:43

It happens with all apps that use gtk widgets (sonata, firefox, thunderbird, gimp, gedit,...), the ugly theme gets applied as soon as I start sonata, as long as I doesn't start it everything acts like it should.

My ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Industrial/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

include "/home/ramses/.gtkrc.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

And my ~/.gtkrc.mine:

style "user-font"
{
font_name = "DejaVu sans 7"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name = "DejaVu sans 7"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "glass-icons"

PS: from tomorrow I'll be away for 11 days, so I wont be able to answer to any post in this thread, I will however get back on this when I'm back so your input certainly wont be useless. All input is very appreciated.

Even though you're away, I think this might be fixed in SVN now.. apparently Sonata was causing gnome-settings-daemon to run simply if it was installed, rather than already running. There will be a 1.2.2 package in a few days.

Ok, the issue was indeed with gnome-settings-daemon, if I start the daemon manually the same effects occur. Sonata is also fixed now.
Thanks for the help
