RHBA-2014:1554 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gtk2, gdk-pixbuf2, librsvg2, and libwmf packages that fix several bugs
and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The gtk2 packages provide a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces, GIMP Toolkit (GTK+). GTK+ offers a complete set of widgets and is
suitable for small projects as well as complete application suites.

The gdk-pixbuf2 packages provide an image loading library that can be extended
by loadable modules for new image formats. It is used by toolkits such as GTK+
or clutter.

The librsvg2 packages provide an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) library based on
the libart library.

The libwmf packages provide a library for reading and converting Windows
Metafile Format (WMF) vector graphics. The library is used by applications such
as GIMP and ImageMagick.

The gtk2 packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.24.23, which provides
a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#1100886)

In addition, this update fixes the following bugs:

• The gtk_cups_connection_test_new() function used the default IPP port instead

of the real one. Consequently, the GTK print dialog failed to get printer
information from remote CUPS servers with a non-standard port number. With this
update, the correct port number is used and GTK no longer fails. (BZ#909454)

• The rsvg-convert utility of the librsvg2 library did not respect the width and

height specified with the viewBox attribute in SVG files. As a consequence,
avatar icons were smaller than they were supposed to be. With this update, the
utility uses the correct width and height. (BZ#1015044)

• The gdk-pixbuf loaders were moved to a separate directory as part of the

separation of the gdk-pixbuf2 library to its own package. This update moves the
loaders present in the librsvg2 and libwmf libraries to the new directory.
(BZ#1104681, BZ#1104684)

• The newly-added GtkComboBoxText widget could cause applications that used it

to terminate unexpectedly due to the incorrect initialization of one of the
widget's properties. With this update, the initialization has been fixed and the
applications no longer crash in the described scenario. (BZ#1126916)

• Missing forward declarations for various functions caused the compiler to

assume an implicit 32-bit integer return type. Consequently, the compiler
terminated unexpectedly because the string pointer was truncated to 32-bits and
then extended back to 64-bits. With this update, the "#include" lines for the
appropriate headers have been added at the top of the affected source files. As
a result, the compiler no longer crashes. (BZ#1127719)

• Previously, the GTK+ print dialog failed to print to a file in the default

directory due to an incorrect path generation of the file. The generation of the
path has been fixed, and GTK+ prints to a file as intended. (BZ#1128798)

Users of gtk2, gdk-pixbuf2, librsvg2, and libwmf are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
