Today I just realized that all python applications (in my n900) that use pygtk, (e.g. pygtkeditor, n900fly, accdisplay.. ) are with their themes screwed up.


Menu of pygtkeditor, note the absence of the bg


Trying to search something in pygtkeditor

(if you enter text, you can see the auto-complete text but not the already entered chars)

To get it even weirder, all normal apps (non-pygtk) are ok. e.g:
Xterm menu:


I already tried removing python-gtk (which removed all this "affected" apps) and installing again to no avail..

python-gtk2 and everything else is from extras (AFAIK).
Maybe related: I installed "Reflect Theme"..

This issue MAY be related to this thread but since what I'm experiencing is way worse and more global I'm creating this new thread

Anyone knows any pygtk - specific confs (something like .pygtk)?
Anyone has any clue?

Thanks in advance!

SO.. just to put some heat on this..
I already changed my FW numerous times. Each time Ireset the firmware, everything goes back into normal.. and then.. suddenly.. as if "from nowhere".. this behavior restarts..

Anyone?

No promises, but I do know a few things about these types of issues and I might be able to help.

Let's start with one of the built-in themes. For the purpose of this conversation, can you please switch to the Digital Nature Theme.

You talk about the Reflect Theme in your previous post, but it looks like the images are from the Digital Nature Theme (hildon-theme-beta). Is that correct?

I'm running PR 1.2 and I just installed pygtkeditor and set my theme to Digital Nature. Here's a screenshot that doesn't look like yours.

I have to get going at the moment, but I'll tell you about Fremantle themed buttons when I get back. That is actually a different issue. In the meantime, please post the output of the following:

Code:
ls -l /usr/share/themes/beta

So.. the output from the ls is:
Code:

And the screenshot from pygtkeditor using the digital nature theme is attached.

The funny thing is that, as far as I know, only pygtk are affected.

Running pygtkeditor on terminal I get no error msgs.. nothing. (Neither when I open a menu).
Also, same thing (no warnings nor erros for other pygtk apps..)
The apps I see the same behavior are accDisplay and n900fly.
Do you have an idea on any other python apps I should try in order to "track down" the problem?

I don't have

hildon-desktop-python-loader

Maybe try uninstalling that and rebooting. Also, you have a different (newer?)

python-osso

than I do. But I'd start with hildon-desktop-python-loader.

Now looking at the difference between the two package listings, odd things I can see are:
Code:
ii  hildon-desktop-python-loader                        0.1.0-1maemo3                              Hildon Desktop Python Plugin Loader
ii  python2.5-qt4-common                                4.7.3-maemo5                               Shared files for PyQt4
ii  python2.5-qt4-core                                  4.7.3-maemo5                               Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.
ii  python2.5-qt4-gui                                   4.7.3-maemo5                               Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.
ii  python2.5-sip4                                      4.10.2-maemo0                              Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library.
I just found something interesting on this. After noting that the recaller app is also in python but didn't suffer from this problem, I took part of its code and made a small "test" (attached) which worked ok. I'll try to figure out which is the difference in the coming hours.

I think all you've done is found the button theme thing I was suppose to fill you in on. Your test program might need menu items to be helpful. Try this one:

Ok, I just found out some really funny thing..
Both my apps and pygtkeditor use a shell script like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec python /opt/accDisplay/accDisplay.py
to launch the program. This scripts is stored under /usr/bin/.
Launching the app (both from the desktop links or the terminal) will call this scripts and then call the app itself.

I just tried running the exact same app but bypassing this script:
Code:
~ $ python /opt/pygtkeditor/pygtkeditor.py
And.. voila.. it works. What's the difference?

(EDIT: woops.. wait some more)
