I thought of this, especially since the 1152x864 is a bit odd (in RC1
it was not even included in the XFree config mode lines.
I tried modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" and "640x480". All these
popular modes produced this same failure, so I stopped hunting. I
didn't try changing the color depth; I use 16 which seems pretty
tame.
F> Does adding g_type_init fixes your problem ?
Yes, by introducing that one call, the problem has vanished; after
nearly 3 weeks of excruciating black-and-grey checkboards, we are once
again happily watching our jpegs get cut up and scattered in our
screensavers.
This is /important/ because, as owners of a digital camera, we take
/two/ /orders/ /of/ /magnitude/ more pictures than before, and while
90% of those pictures are junk, we're still left with ten times more
photos than we were generating with film cameras. This poses the
extreme dilemma: How do we /show/ that many photographs? The only
reasonable solution is to dump them all into one archive and have
every computer in the house pick through them randomly as
screensavers. :)
