  gnome-perl | Gtk2 | Ver: unspecified
           Summary: -threads-init disables gtk2-perl
           Product: gnome-perl
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Gtk2
        AssignedTo: gtk...@li...
        ReportedBy: jz...@vt...
         QAContact: gtk...@li...
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The following simple program does not run, it displays a window but does not
draw anything in the window:

#!/usr/bin/perl


use Gtk2 qw( -init -threads-init );
    die "Glib::Object thread safety failed"
        unless Glib::Object->set_threadsafe(1);

my $win = Gtk2::Window->new();
my $but = Gtk2::Button->new("Start Thread");

$win->add($but);
$win->show_all;

# Start the main loop.
Gtk2->main;

exit 1;


If you remove the "-threads-init" line then the program works fine.  I also
tried using the Gtk2::Gdk::Threads->init and Gtk2->init calls instead; the
results are the same.

I have the latest version of everything:

ActiveState Perl 5.8.8-820
Gtk2.pm 1.141
Glib.pm 1.142
Cairo.pm 1.021
ExtUtils-Depends.pm 0.205
ExtUtils-PkgConfig.pm 1.07
Gtk2 2.10.11 (windows runtime from
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/wfdownloads/)

On a fresh install of Windows XP SP2 (I did install older versions of the
packages which I removed and upgraded to the most recent versions to test for
this bug report).

Of course this program does nothing useful, but it is stripped down from a
larger more complicated program where I am using threads.  Notice that this
program doesn't use threads, it simply initializes them.  My large program has
exactly the same behavior and it does use threads.

Thanks for all your hard work!
Jason
