Trying out a few gtk applications in ubuntu precise (video)

[darxus at chaosreigns.com]

Tried the ones that previously failed again with GTK rebuilt with both
the x11 and wayland backends.  I built it with only the wayland backend
before.  

But the extra fun was stracing gnomine and mahjongg.  They work when run
through strace, but still don't work without strace.  Anybody care to
remind me how that's possible?  It's not a suid thing.  I'm running them
directly from bash.

Yes.

Yes.  Although text I type isn't visible until I disable “use colours from
system theme”.  Transparent background even works:

And the freaky thing is, when I change settings in gnome-terminal running
in weston, it also affects my terminals outside of weston.
Ah, it looks like for some reason with system theme colors, the text is
drawn as black - so I can slightly see it with transparency and something
white behind it.


So that's 3 more that work, so 12 worked, 13 didn't.  48% worked.
