Re: Problems with emacs built against gtk3
Just for completeness... Yaakov wrote Okay, I got it. dconf-service needs a GVfs implementation, but the default provider (from the gvfs package) is currently only available in Ports. That's what I get for trying to be minimalistic wrt the distro. I installed gvfs and all it needs (I have many packages installed frp cygports) but this doesn't fix the problem for me: Emacs still dies... :( Ciao, Angelo. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Why did this just start happening (after the last update), and what's the long-term fix? At least if it comes back, I know what to do. This is just a minor glitch, related to the fact that Yaakov is gradually updating some packages that were updated long ago in Ports. [It's minor because emacs actually worked fine, in spite of all the warnings]. I'm sure he will get this all sorted out. I don't use Gnome - is there a way to uninstall the whole package, including Pango? emacs-X11 is built using the gtk toolkit. This is the upstream default for emacs, and I don't want to do something special for Cygwin unless there's a good reason. So emacs-X11 requires libgtk, which requires libpango.

Similar symptoms were reported on Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654027 This appears to be the same bug. The solution is to launch a DBus session bus *before* starting emacs (or any other gtk3 programs for that matter), IOW: $ eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` $ emacs-X11 The first command should be added to the beginning of your ~/.startxwinrc, if you're using startxwin (or its shortcut) to start the X server. I turned on DBUS debugging and it appears to be communicating before Emacs is started.
