Description Gustavo Noronha (kov) 2005-02-10 23:56:24 UTC 
Version details: 2.6.8
Distribution/Version: Debian unstable

Quote Pedro, the original submitter:

" If I run "glade-2 --write-source myfile.glade", it seems to require
an X11 display, but I think it shoudn't. If I am generating/compiling a
glade-2 project in a remote machine, I receive the following error:

(glade-2:6027): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 

   As a workaround, I need to export DISPLAY and authorize with xhost."

It was changed a few years back so it didn't require an X connection.

I'm not sure why it needs an X connection again now. Maybe it is the session
management code.

I'm a bit wary of changing the startup code sequence. I'll probably break
something else.

glade-legacy development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing the bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
