Dear Maintainer, I'm running Jessie x86_64 with MATE v1.8.1 on my system, with gpodder usually running minimized when not needed. The tool runs fine for most of the time, however, sometimes after fireing up the system from hibernation, gpodder's main window and menu for the notification icon refuse to draw properly which makes further use impossible without killing it. Doing a 'pkill gpodder' before starting up the program another time does help however. The new process runs just fine again, until the scenario starts all over again.
Does this also happen with a different desktop environment on the same hardware? Does resizing the window cause a redraw? It looks like a toolkit problem (so any other Gtk+2-based applications should similarly be affected — can you check)? Does this happen when the window is not minimized before hibernation? Thanks, Thomas
Unfortunately, I don't have another DE installed to test it right now, other gtk2 tools however seem to do fine. Also I did just test what happens after hibernation with gpodder's window kept open. It seems as the tool can still be used just fine afterwards if done so, however, when I clicked the tray icon so it'd minimize I ended up with the same results as in the original post. The window won't be drawn again and the tray icon's right context menu can not be used either anymore. Starting another process of gpodder seemed to work at first but gave me the same results when getting minimized, also nothing else but killing it helped then. Resizing in normal state curses no problems at all, I suppose it has to do something with the case when hiding the main window by clicking on the tray icon as gpodder won't be shown on any virtual desktop at that point when I try to restore it. Thanks for the reply Ps. I'm sorry for using an outdated email address before.
