Hi

I use slackware 10.1 with KDE 3.4.1 from linuxpackages.net.
I keep getting an error message when starting certain programs, so far I have found xmms and gmplayer give me the error :

XMMS:

ric@straker:~$ xmms
/home/ric/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
/home/ric/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x4082bd79 ***

gmplayer :

ric@straker:~$ gmplayer

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: unknown



I have to 'ctrl - c' to exit the gmplayer one.

Any ideas on what to do?


Thanks

What version of GTK+ do you use? When I got the latest GTK+ my xmms wouldn't work anymore. XMMS explains why.

I went with Beep Media Player (BMP) and I haven't had any problems yet. It works, so far, just as good as XMMS. Though I did have to get the xmms-mp3 plugin to play mp3 files.

My installation of Slackware has both GTK+1 and GTK+2 ?

Mine did too (I think, not sure, but I remember seeing both in my /var/log/packages dir.--then again, I might have added one or the other at some point), but I needed a newer GTK+2 than the one I had for another program I installed (can't remember which one since I've been installing stuff like crazy lately). When I got the latest version, my xmms suddenly quit working on me, as well as other applictions (which I had to get the latest versions of that are compatible with the latest GTK+2). Now, everything works like a charm.

Very strange. I compiled both the latest GTK2+ and xmms and everything still works fine.

Either my luck is bad, or your luck is good. I'm just glad we're both up and running fine.

I re-installed an earlier version of xmms, which now works but still shows the error if ran from a console.

Mplayer is still buggered.

gtk+-1.2.10-i386-3
gtk+2-2.6.7-i486-1
mplayer-1.0pre7-i686-2jto
xmms-1.2.10-i486-2 (works with errors)

True.

As to the below quoted errors:

You will solve the problem by following these steps:

1) Going to the KDE "Control Center"
2) Select expand the "Appearance & Themes option"
3) Select "Colors"
4) Unclick the box that says "Apply colors to non-KDE applications"

This will solve your problem %100. You will not be able to apply your color schemes to non-kde applications after your preform the above steps.
You should try, as best as you can, to set up coloring inside of your non-kde applications - to maintain uniform theme coloring.

Note: That your ~.kde/share/config/gtkrc will no longer exist after you preform the above steps.

Thats the ticket.
