I do not know whether it is relevant, but attached is a test file that triggers the crash.
** Attachment added: "my_file.svg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1175949/+attachment/3663527/+files/my_file.svg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk2-engines-oxygen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175949 Title: Inkscape crashes when changing dash pattern Status in “gtk2-engines-oxygen” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start inkscape I get a warning $inkscape my_file.svg (inkscape:2983): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for default has no directories When I try to change the dash pattern of a line, the menu directly closes and the terminal shows: (inkscape:2983): Gdk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.17/gdk /gdkpixbuf-drawable.c:1257: Depth of the source drawable is 32 where as the visual depth of the colormap passed is 24 (inkscape:2983): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 32 to a drawable with depth 24 (These errors are repeated 6 times) When I reopen the pattern menu again, inkscape crashes: The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 44320 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) It seems to be an error in the GTK2 Oxygen engine, as the crash is solved when I change the engine to Rayleigh. $ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 13.04 $ apt-cache policy gtk2-engines-oxygen gtk2-engines-oxygen: Installed: 1.3.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.3.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.3.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1175949/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
