Description Jens Petersen 2011-06-06 08:55:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
xfce-utils' xinitrc file sets GTK_PATH to ":libdir/gtk-2.0".

This seems to break the gtk theming of 32bit gtk apps on  x86_64.

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 32 bit gtk application on x86_64 xfce desktop
eg remove gtk2-devel.x86_64 and install gtk2-devel.i686
and run gtk-demo.
2. $ printenv GTK_PATH
  
Actual results:
1. Uses the gtk fallback theme (looks like a 90's motif application;)
2. GTK_PATH=:/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0

Expected results:
1. To use the default gtk theme
2. GTK_PATH to be unset

Additional info:
I used gtk-demo from gtk2-devel.i686 to reproduce.

$ GTK_PATH="" gtk-demo

is ok
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2011-06-06 09:17:51 UTC 
As noted in the upstream report this also breaks loading of 32bit gtk3 modules for multilib.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2011-06-06 10:04:43 UTC 
This package:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3112756

fixes the problem for me.

(BTW I think the pulseaudio patch is not actually doing anything:
it needs to be applied to xinitrc.in.in to actually get into
the final xinitrc and not be overwritten, if pulseaudio is wanted.)
Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2011-06-07 04:16:13 UTC 
Interesting. 

Are there real life cases? Where did you run into this out of curiosity... ;)
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2011-06-08 09:07:48 UTC 
Sure - eg 32bit browsers on x86_64...
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2011-06-08 09:09:39 UTC 
A better patch that might make upstream happy would be
perhaps to set GTK_PATH only if @libdir@ != %{_libdir} say.
