I see this running a couple of programs: 1) The newui branch of the anaconda installer 2) nm-connection-editor They both are on a specially built DVD on the Fedora 17 branch running the installer. It is located at http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-20120809-ppc64-e7f28ff-netinst.iso For the second case, you can do the following to start up the testcase: [anaconda root@sharpie /]# Xvnc :2 -depth 16 -br IdleTimeout=0 -auth /dev/null -once DisconnectClients=false desktop=test SecurityTypes=None rfbauth=0 & [anaconda root@sharpie ~]# DISPLAY=:2 nm-connection-editor (process:1103): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (nm-connection-editor:1103): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: (null):1:0: Expected a valid selector
This causes everything to look black as the color palate is not loaded.

This could be due to this fix missing in glib: http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/gio/gresource.c?id=5ef34e5f11b4f71a66615b6506108ee540cc3420 Its in glib >= 2.32.2, what version are you running?
glib2-2.32.1-1.fc17.ppc64
Does this happen with all gtk3 apps?
These problems are observed on our F18 early bootable images only. We cannot replicate this is a running system. Can you join us on irc at #fedora-ppc so we can realtime discuss?
This seems to be fixed with glib2-2.32.4-1.fc17.ppc64.rpm. Closing...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
