Description Paul Smith 2008-07-29 10:22:38 UTC
After every reboot, when I log in (XFCE), the size of the letters
under the desktop icons is much smaller than usually. However, the
proper size of those letters is restored as soon as I log out and I
log in again (and not rebooting).

Comment 1 Paul Smith 2008-07-29 10:23:44 UTC
In addition:

$ rpm -q qgtkstyle
qgtkstyle-0.0-0.2.20080719svn693.fc8.i386
$

Comment 2 Paul Smith 2008-07-29 10:28:17 UTC
Sorry, wanted to mean the following:

$ rpm -q qgtkstyle
qgtkstyle-0.0-0.2.20080719svn693.fc9.i386
$

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2008-07-29 12:12:51 UTC
silly question, what does XFCE desktop icons have to do with qgtkstyle?

Comment 4 Paul Smith 2008-07-29 14:47:24 UTC
I am not able of answering your question, but it is a fact that, without
qgtkstyle and the qt packages available at the Koji website, the reported
problem does not exist.

Are you suggesting that I should report this bug in the XFCE component?

Paul


Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2008-07-29 16:38:40 UTC
Imo, yes, unless some direct evidence is found to link the gtk-based xfce
desktop rendering to qgtkstyle.

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2008-07-29 17:21:03 UTC
Why WONTFIX? Reopening...

Comment 7 Paul Smith 2008-07-29 17:31:32 UTC
Kevin,

Because I followed Rex advice:

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2008-07-29 17:36:57 UTC
Uh, I think one bug report is enough, we have to talk to each other here to 
track it down. I'll close the other as a duplicate.

Comment 10 Kevin Fenzi 2008-07-29 20:50:01 UTC
What are your settings under 'Settings -> Desktop Settings -> Behavior' ?

Icon size? 
Use System font?
Custom Font size? 

Does this same thing happen to a brand new user account?

Comment 11 Kevin Kofler 2008-07-30 14:03:22 UTC
My guess is that this is caused by gnome-settings-daemon or some other 
xsettings daemon.

I am attaching two screenshots with my settings.

Apparently, no.

Perhaps, you are right, as the bug only shows up if, before the reboot, I login
with GNOME, then logout and login again but with XFCE.

Without a previous GNOME login, the bug stays hidden.

Comment 16 Kevin Fenzi 2008-07-31 16:33:43 UTC
in reply to comment #15: 

ok, can you: 
reboot
login with Gnome. 
logout
control-alt-f1 to get to a text vty
login as root
ps -auxww | grep settings
and see if the gnome-settings-daemon is still running? 

If so, perhaps it's a bug that it doesn't exit when you logout...

Thanks, Kevin. 

The command 'ps -auxww | grep settings' did not return gnome-settings-daemon as being still running, but the command did mention

/etc/nm-system-settings.conf

Any further ideas?

Paul

Comment 18 Kevin Fenzi 2008-08-12 05:47:35 UTC
well, I still suspect it's some settings management leftover from the gnome login. 

Can you try doing: 

- boot
- ps -axuww 
- login to gnome
- logout
- ps -axuww

and see what processes are new in the second ps? 
Should also be able to see the ones that started right at the time you logged into gnome?

Here go the results of the experiment:

Comment 20 Kevin Fenzi 2008-08-28 04:27:07 UTC
Sorry for the delay here. 

I don't see anything in those 2 ps outputs... you say they are BOOT1 and BOOT2... were those the places that I suggested you should run the ps? 
should just be one boot, ps, then login and out of gnome and another ps. 

Also, can you expand on your comment #4 ?
If you remove the qgtkstyle and qt packages the problem goes away? 

This is a F9 machine? i386? you are using KDM as your display manager? 

Thanks for the info.

I followed the steps that you suggested:

- boot
- ps -axuww (here BOOT1)
- login to gnome
- logout
- ps -axuww (here BOOT2)

Yes, apparently.

Yes, I am running an i386 F9 machine with KDM as display manager.

Let me add something else: once, I noticed the problem without having entered a Gnome session.

Paul

Comment 22 Christoph Wickert 2008-09-09 23:42:43 UTC
We are not sure if it is related to KDM or your Xfce session. Can you try with a "fresh" session by
rm -rf ~/.cache/session' and
rm -rf .config/xfce4-session/
from a console before you login?

Comment 23 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:36:48 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Hey Paul. Can you try the suggestion made by Christoph in comment #22 please and let us know the results?

Sorry, Kevin, for the delay with which I am replying, but I have been recently so busy, so busy...

I do not know why, but since I upgraded to F10, I can only login in XFCE sessions; I cannot login neither in a KDE session nor in a GNOME one. So, I cannot reproduce the bug anymore. Any ideas?

Some more details: I am using XFCE and KDM, and the Circles theme as login window.

I know the feeling. ;) 

So, What happens when you try and login to Gnome or KDE?
Can you select KDE or Gnome after selecting your username?

Does it just take you back to the login screen?

After attempting to login to KDE or Gnome, can you do 'control-alt-f2' and login as root on the vty, and cp the ~username/.xsession-errors file to something, then go back and attach that file to this bug?

This is drifting off into another bug it seems like... does the orig issue of small letters still affect you or need attention?

:-)

But, in spite of having been very busy, I feel the duty to cooperate with Fedora Linux improvement.

I was using KDM and the KDE Circles theme for the Login Window. After
having changed to a different theme, I could log in a KDE session or
GNOME session. Before, I was always led to a XFCE session, even if I had
KDE or GNOME selected. Now I am also using GDM.

I suspect that the problem is related to the KDE Circle theme. In which
section of bugzilla should I file a bug?

After having upgraded from F9 to F10, I noticed the problem only once. I suspect that even this issue is related to KDE Circles theme.

I have just tried to reproduce the bug of the small letters, but it has not showed up.

Hope this helps you,

Paul

Comment 28 Kevin Fenzi 2009-01-25 02:37:58 UTC
Well, I don't understand how the Circle theme could have caused the small fonts in Xfce. ;(

So, there are a number of issues here and we are loosing focus. To recap:

1. Bug where you login to Gnome, then Xfce, and Xfce fonts are small. This only happened once and you can no longer reproduce it?

2. Bug where you could only login to Xfce via KDM. This seems to be fixed by changing the theme?

If you are unable to reproduce problem #1, and lots of things have changed so you can't go back and set everything the same way, I would say we should just close this bug. You can re-open or file a new one if it happens again. 

For problem #2, perhaps file a new bug against "kdebase-workspace" as thats the package that has kdm in it. 

Does that sound good?

Yes, that is true.

I agree with you, Kevin: the bug should be closed. In case, it shows up again, I will re-open this bug.

Comment 30 Kevin Fenzi 2009-02-01 20:28:23 UTC
ok. Please do re-open and file new bugs on the new issues!

thanks.
