Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-09-15 19:22:04 UTC 
There's no useful information in the backtraces; it doesn't
look related to Xft2, however.

If these are custom-built packages, you'll need to rebuild
them with debugging information in order for us to go
any further here.

(nautilus works perfectly fine with Xft2 in the packages we
build at Red Hat, so it isn't some generic bug in the combination
that would be easy to reproduce.)
Comment 2 Michael Meeks 2002-09-16 08:22:58 UTC 
Indeed, no symbol information, pretty useless.

Did it link cleanly ? Did it warn about incompatible gdk / xft
versions ? if you don't cleanly re-compile, pango and gtk/gdk then
you're going to have serious problems (perhaps like the above).

Please rebuild, export CFLAGS=-g before configuring.

I have now worked out the problem

1. I will post details on how I worked it out
2. Posted bug so that it was flagged so if/when I worked it
out/problem was solved others could check it out
Comment 4 mike 2002-09-26 05:14:28 UTC 
Combination of
getting xft2 done properly
ie: wipe out all Xft stuff
then install fcpackage
recompile

metal theme from gtk-engines seems to have issues with
nautilus/gnome-panel esp relating to ditem-edit
Comment 5 John Fleck 2002-09-26 12:27:36 UTC 
So can we close this, then, Mike?
