xdiskusage doesn't run when not run from a terminal

B-Con · 2008-09-06 05:45:24

Whenever I try to run xdiskusage from a terminal (xterm, xfce-terminal, etc) it executes fine. However, if I try to run it from elsewhere, say from an openbox menu or via gmrun, the xdiskusage window (of an incorrect size) comes up with a frozen image of the wallpaper -- as if the window never got initialized. I've tried using the full path, just in case, but nothing changed.

I've had this happen on two separate computers with Arch, so I'm fairly certain it's not a local bug (although I do tend to maintain virtually identical installs on both computers).

What on earth could be going on? I don't recall this happening before, but I'm not sure I ever tried not using from a terminal before. Could it possibly be related to the recent locale changes that've been made? (I've seen some apps complaining about locale's as of late.)

Confirmed, same problem here. You should file a bug.

Same here, too. '(sleep 1; xdiskusage) & x' (x = exit here) causes the window to appear but not redraw (probably the OP's "window with wallpaper" issue, which didn't make much sense to me).

Btw, *what* toolkit does that app use?!

Good, it's not just me.
