Description Bastien Nocera 2002-02-11 04:42:53 UTC
Running latest CVS HEAD on powerpc, I get messages about the invalid byte
order of the property. It makes the gtk+ theme switcher not work for example.

I tried changing the return value of xsettings_byte_order in
xsettings-common.c as such:
return ((char)LSBFirst);
and
return ((char)MSBFirst);
to no avail.

Would it be trying to byteswap things it shouldn't ?
X.h says:
/* Byte order  used in imageByteOrder and bitmapBitOrder */

Upping priority because this could block testing on non-x86 platforms.
Comment 2 Erwann Chenede 2002-02-22 16:42:07 UTC
version 1.99.3
I can't reproduce this bug on sparc, the gtk+ themer selection preview
works.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-02-26 06:29:59 UTC
Bastien: are you still seeing it in CVS?

It is fixed by Jacob's endian fix (Gtk+ 2.0.2 + patch or current cvs
HEAD).
