Pixmap themes let the X process grow infinitely
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
After using a aqua gtk-pixmap theme for two weeks I realized that it was the cause for several X crashes. While using the aqua pixmap theme the X server grows constantly bigger while using gtk applications from it's orignal 80MB memory size to over 300MB. I tried a few other pixmap engine related themes which all seem to have the same problem. The used theme here was: http://gtk.classic.themes.org/php/download.phtml?object=gtk.theme.982673335&rev=1.2.x&query=download&server=classic.themes.org
Fixed (I hope) in the gtk-engines-0 branch in CVS. (Irrelevant in HEAD, which no longer contains this engine.) I have no immediate plans to release a new gtk-engines tarball at this point.
