Hi Loïc! Why do I do all this? Well, I'd like to have debugging symbols in libgtk2 and the debugging flags available.
This is what I am hunting: > The program 'DAMARIS' received an X Window System error. > This probably reflects a bug in the program. > The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib > length erro'. > (Details: serial 4650870 error_code 16 request_code 114 minor_code 0) > (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; > that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. > To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line > option to change this behavior.

I'd like to trace down this error (maybe to matplotlib). While skiming throug the source code I found pygtk handing down the argument lists and tried to run libgtk2-dbg with pygtk. Could you tell me how to do that? Is it necessary to build pygtk linked against libgtk2-dgb? I was not able to find proper instructions to use libgtk2-dbg.
