Errors using TB or FF (gtk?)

BroX · 07-15-2005, 01:51 AM

Hey all,

I get the following weird messages when starting either Thunderbird or Firefox (they both work well but I get annoyed by those messages and can't find anything similar on the net). Does anyone have an idea what's up? And what's G_MAXLONG?

Code:

(thunderbird-bin:4631): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)

Cheers, Leon.

there was this issue for mozilla, dunno if it applies to these 2 though..
in your home dir theres a file called .mozilla. check its permissions (ls -l .mozilla) and make sure you have correct priveledges to it.
hopefully with firefox theres a similar file which is causing the problem.

Permissions seem to be ok, I don't think that's the problem.
