Re: [Ftpcube-general] Display issue when FTPCube is started

[Randy J. <li...@cf...>]

Hello,

I did a startx and typed in ftpcube, it opened to a white window with
gray in the background and the terminal window had this:

(python:1777): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to
allocate widget with width 2 and height -1

(python:1777): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to
allocate widget with width 2 and height -1

(python:1777): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to
allocate widget with width 2 and height -1

(python:1777): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to
allocate widget with width 2 and height -1

(python:1777): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to
allocate widget with width 2 and height -1


Any ideas?
