Small, but disagreeable problems after update to -current 64bit (maybe GTK problems)
After last update(20 nov)- few strange things.
- Don't view popup menu for Network Manager applet. If right or left click at NM tray applet- See only line at top left corner of screen (it's seems like then menu coordinates not at visible screen)
- Same problems in recompiled Transmission (menu) - not see any menu, but see line at top left of screen
- Same in Nvidia server settings. And when close this software- Confirm menu is visible, but at top left of screen. (start from 0px/0px from corner)
- Same problems in MELD.
I using slackware-64 current.
Interesting moment- problem exist only with enabled Nvidia driver(358.16).
xorg.conf in this variant
----
Section "Module"
Load "modesetting"
EndSection

I'm using 340.96 compiled from SlackBuild-scripts. nvidia-settings works.
Transmission 2.84 (recompiled on -current) menu works for me, using GTK+3.18 I think.
Edit: Have you tried the long term 352.63 driver?

And problem exist for two not same notebooks, one with optimus technoly
I would hope you are using bumblebee bumblebee-project http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:har...nvidia_optimus
as for how you upgraded from a stable platform to a new platform may yield many things.
as for the gtk problem again this means do you have broken links from the upgrade.
Right now upgrading from 14.1 to current means doing a full clean system.
None of my upgrade test have passed one hundred percent.
Code:
slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system
then make sure you do not have /etc/slackpkg/blacklist
#
# aaa_elflibs can be upgraded
#
#aaa_elflibs
now go rebuild your bumblebee.
This is a huge change in slackware I wish it was as simple as
upgrading from 14.0 to 14.1 but it has a few big changes.
or you can do it the slackware way. when 14.2 comes out this page will be written for 14.2. http://mirrors1.kernel.org/slackware...nt/UPGRADE.TXT
No problem. You might see an "Edit" button on the bottom of that particular post, if so, click on it and remove what's in the text window and then click "Save" right below it.
