Embedding application

Hi,
Since a few weeks I'm having an issue with an embedding gtk application.
It seems it randomly fails to render the child view of the GtkPlug when showing the plug.

I have tried to track down the source of the issue without success so there's no proposal fix accompagning this report.

But here are two simple programs I can easily reproduce the issue here:
a simple embedding gtk program
a gtk client with a text view

Although this doesn't seem to be directly related, spawning some XInternAtom() “help” reproducing the race condition.

I'd be happy to provide more info, or run tests, if needed.

Maybe bugs marked with a “normal” priority get lost in maintainers precious time

Leaving comments like these won't bump any bug's priority.

Socket/Plug are X11-only concepts, and they have been de-prioritized with the move to Wayland. I'm afraid you'll have to do the investigative work yourself.

It's fairly unlikely that something has changed in GtkSocket/GtkPlug over the past 5 years, but you could try bisecting the Git repository starting from a known working tag and making your way through the gtk-3-22 branch.
