What Versions of GTK+ Have Problems?

wxPython Users

I've found that the "Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_system_unix_get_folder:
assertion `g_path_is_absolute (filename)' failed" error is quite common;
Google has 1100 hits for the assertion.

   Since my distribution upgrade, I have installed gtk+2-2.8.20,
pygtk-2.10.3, and wxGTK-2.8.0.

   Are any of these known to be particularly buggie? Are these versions
mutually incompatible?

   I'd really like to get the file open dialog working again, but need some
external expertise to help. All this on linux.

Nope, they should be fine. (Although if you're trying to use pygtk from wxPython then you have other problems. :wink: )

Thanks, Robin. And, I'm not _trying_ to use pygtk. If I don't need it to
write the wxPython components of our application, then I'll remove the
package. I don't need more things to cause confusion; I can generate enough
on my own.

I removed pyGTK, since I'm not developing any UI separate from wxPython.
