There's no reason for you to have a broken > Synaptic. I have no gtk3-engines- installed. I still have a quickly dying Synaptic. I've just noticed that gnome-terminal is filling the kernel log with masses of: '<something> <somenumber> is drawn without a current allocation. This should not happen.' This seems to have been ongoing for a couple of months, and GTK3 is strongly incriminated, RedHat being also affected, various reports involving emacs and other GTK3 users. The death of my Synaptic produces no log entries. -- Joe
