Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Colin Stewart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804

Sunbird 0.2 will compile without problems, following the process I list below. 
However, I get a gdk error (pasted below, in results) when any user attempts to
start sunbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As per instructions on the build page *NOTE* mozconfig, I learned, must be in
the build root directory, otherwise sunbird will not compile 
2. Add line ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 to mozconfig
3. ./configure && make
4.  make install (from build root)
5.  attempt to start sunbird by typing sunbird from anywhere

Actual Results:  
Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 2585 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0
Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 2586 error_code 3 request_code 61 minor_code 0
========================================================

This is on a version that I built from source on Mandriva LE2005.  I don't get
this error when I use the binary version.

Expected Results:  
It should have started normally

My system runs Mandriva LE2005

I have tried to run make install a number of times, with the same result each time.

The process you describe below is not the correct process for building Mozilla
applications (mozilla does not support the standard autoconf build behaviour
with configure and make install). Please reread the instructions.
