[Gaim-devel] GTK and parent widgets

[Decklin F. <de...@re...>]

Cleanice (the GTK theme) was segfaulting whenever gtkimhtml popped up a
tooltip. I tracked it down to a line like this:

strstr (g_type_name (GTK_WIDGET_TYPE (widget->parent)), "CheckButton")

where widget->parent was NULL. This is the only widget I've seen this
problem with, but I'm not familiar enough with GTK internals (or used to
sort of vaguely be, but then 2.0 came out) to understand who's at fault
here. Is it a bug in gaim, for not giving the widget a parent? (It was
not immediately apparent how to fix that.) Or should cleanice not assume
there will be one?

This happens inside the gtk_paint_layout call on line 1327.
