           Summary: Win32 GTK apps are all black when run in WINE
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.1-winehq-3
Component: wine-gui
OS: Linux (reproduced on both Debian and Ubuntu)
Severity: major (if you need to run GTK apps, critical)
Summary: Win32 GTK apps are all black when run in WINE, almost no features of
the GUI are visible except buttons.
Description:
I noticed in cross-compiling my Linux GTK apps for Windows (Win32) users that
the apps look good in real Windows, but look almost entirely black when run in
Wine. I tried installing a Windows Classic theme in Wine, but all it did was
make the Progress Bars flash occasionally visible. [side note: the GTK apps I
tested all also required an unavailable Windows DLL, USP10.DLL]

Steps to Reproduce: I cross-compile, since I no longer have any Windows-based
development boxes. So I don't know if this also happens with GTK apps natively
compiled on a Win32 box. But regardless, my apps do look normal if you run them
in native windows; they only have this black-on-black problem when run in Linux
under WINE.

To reproduce, you'll need to install the standard GTK Win32 port that most
everyone uses for GIMP and GAIM, from here:
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

(You may also need USP10.DLL as mentioned above too)

Then just run a GTK Win32 program in wine -- I could send you an executable if
that is easier, or you could cross-compile an official GTK Tutorial "Hello
World" program using these instructions:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=30849&group_id=149086

More info on this bug (in fact, the request from a poster that I post this here
as a bug) is in this comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/msg/b67c096722232d3c?dmode=source&hl=en

There are a few thing sent out to stderr when I run the app:

@ubuntu:~/Programming/GTKCrossCompile_HelloWorld$ wine helloworld.exe
fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable
fixme:font:load_VDMX Failed to retrieve vTable

(helloworld.exe:8): Pango-WARNING **: Couldn't load font "MS Shell Dlg 8"
falling back to "Sans 8"

Beyond that, let me know if there is any more info I can provide.
Thanks!
