Starting from a terminal, I get this:

gthumb

(gthumb:3148): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gthumb' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 168 error_code 2 request_code 155 (GLX) minor_code 24)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
   function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Hi Francesco,

Can you tell how to reproduce the bug ?

Well, I just open a terminal in X and type "gthumb"...

I use an updated testing distribution and the Mate desktop environment.
I have used this environment for some years, and have always used
Gthumb.  I have not used it maybe in the last couple months, so probably
some update changed something, but I don't know what to look for...

severity 788988 important
tags 788988 = moreinfo unreproducible
thanks

In that case I will lower the severity and tag moreinfo and unreproducible.

If you cannot reproduce it, okay, it's unreproducible.  BUt the severity
is correct, as the program is unusable for me.

Do you have any suggestiopns on what I could do to diagnose the problem?

Hi Francesco,

It doesn't appear to happen to others. So it is not grave.

First ideia is 'strace'. But I'm not a expert.
