Re: KDE apps look strange with 2.2.1 on a PowerPC machine



Oops - I think I hadn't actually restarted the Intel machine. I now see exactly the same problem there as well. Sorry all.

Is this kde running on the same system as the X server?

No.

What happens if you run the same kde app on a remote X server?

This is what I'm doing: have a remote machine running Scientific Linux 4, and I log into that machine and start Kate. X11 then opens on my machine and shows me the (corrupted) kate window.
What happens if you run a remote kde app to this ppc x server?

Sorry, I'm confused. Is that not the same as above?

What is the output of:

otool -L /path/to/the/application

There's no otool under SL4, so I guess this is mac only?

Cheers,

Ed

I'm baffled! Is it possible it's a font issue on my machine?

I don't think it's a font issue. I'd guess an endianness bug in X11 itself,
but this doesn't even look like the endianness bugs I've seen before.
But if it works fine on Intel then it's almost certainly endianness related.

Is there anything I can do to test this? And incidentally, in case it's relevant, the problem gets worse with time, and eventually leads to a crash.

Sorry to pester but this is making X11 unusable for me. Is there anything I can do to help. Should I submit a formal bug report? And if so, how and where?


Cheers,

Ed
