Gdk-Error

[Anonymous]

Is there any news about these error messages on Lazarus startup:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  serial 7369 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  serial 7370 error_code 9 request_code 62 minor_code 0


Causing Lazarus to exit.

I know this has been reported before, but I haven't seen any good answers so far.

What version of lazarus, what version of OS, what version of gtk/gdk/glib/gdk-pixbuf, what version of X
Please provide more info.

It's a bit hard to say which configuartoin casues the problem to occur, but it's always reproducible, when it doesn't work.

I had the problem on my old notebook first. This was SuSE 9.0 / KDE (no special themes). It did work on IceWM though, and works on KDE too on this machine since I've upgraded to SuSE 10.

But I have exactly  the same error, when I try to apply e.g. the theme XLiquid_GTK-1.0.3 on my desktop machine.
SuSE 10, Lazarus 0.9.13. (gtk/gdk/glib/gdk-pixbuf standard SuSE 10 DVD installation)

Others have reported this too:

Same problem I try changing the theme of gnome (I'm under Ubuntu Breezy and Dapper) there is the different GDK erros I received.
I test on stable and Dapper install but both make me impossible to launch a program few complicate (a button it passed but when I put a TPicture or a StringGrind Lazarus EXIT and impossible to run compiled program. I try also both daily and stable release but nothing is good. I can write my program but can't see it in action. I hope a soon fix because it is useless if we can't play with our program.

Funny thing is: I can start all my Lazarus created apps (not as complex a Lazarus) with themes, but not Lazarus itself.
It seems that this is a problem "on the edge" and hard to find out. It's probably not a problem caused by Lazarus only, but a problem
of a certain cooperation of the Lazarus-IDE and GTK.
I can't imagine that my desktop computer hasn't got enough "resources" for running the Lazarus-IDE.
I can run all applications from Monodevelop, OpenOffice, Eclipse, KDevelop, Gimp to Kylix, even on my notebook, where it never worked (even without themes)  on SuSE 9.0.

THis problem exists for a while and is hard to track.
It looks like it has something to do with the combination of X, WM, GTK, Theme and it is very hard to reproduce (for us devels). I've had it sometimes in the past, but then not within a debugger. After some update of some libs, the problem went away. (since it part of a RH up2date, I can't remember which)
