Gimp-2.3.4 problems

Hi all,

I've installed gimp-2.3.4 right now and met another problem: all pull-down and pop-up menus do have a black background. Black fonts on black background is hard to read, I'm sure.

Within the terminal a few message like this pop up:

(gimp:23382): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(): pixmap must have a colormap

Any idea what went wrong here ?

Regards, Stephan.

p/s:
glib is 2.8.2
gtk+ is 2.8.3

There has been several threads on different lists regarding this problem. It is a new feature in the gtk+ libs. And the software compiled against/using the old versions are not 100% compatible with the new ones.
One of the things being the black menues.

Suggestion; Revert to an older gtk+ lib.

Gimp-2.3.4 problems

How to fix "gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(): pixmap must have a colormap" black menus problem. Very simple.
Just add "/opt/gnome/lib/"
in "/etc/ld.so.conf"
and run "ldconfig".
Piece of cake, don't you?
