Description Alan Stern 2013-03-29 20:53:31 UTC
Description of problem:

When emacs is started under X with a specified geometry, it always produces an annoying and bogus error message.  For example:

(emacs:10188): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no visible children; the window should be set up before gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.

Apparently this bug has already has an upstream workaround:

   http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/111078

Please incorporate this workaround into Fedora's emacs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
   emacs-24.2-6.fc18.i686

How reproducible:  Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke emacs with a geometry specification.  For example:
   emacs -g 80x40-0+0
  
Actual results:  See the error message above.

Additional information:  See http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/bug-11177-24-0-95-gtk-window-parse-geometry-warning-td14655.html

Comment 4 Jerry James 2013-04-04 15:48:47 UTC
Emacs now appears to be broken in Rawhide.  Here is a snippet of a Rawhide build of gap, which ends by byte compiling some elisp files:

+ /usr/bin/emacs -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file --eval '(progn (setq load-path (cons "." load-path)))' -f batch-byte-compile gap-mode.el gap-process.el
/usr/bin/emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could that be a side effect of the change made for this bug, or is it a different problem?
