Hi Alexandros,

Looking at GTK+, the ‘init_randr*’ functions in ‘gdkscreen-x11.c’ appear
to be those responsible for setting the ‘refresh_rate’ field.

However, AFAICS, our ‘gtk+’ package does not depend on ‘libxrandr’, and
thus that functionality is simply compiled out (the function returns 0
unconditionally).

Could you try adding that dependency on ‘libxrandr’ in ‘gtk+’?

We won’t make this change in ‘master’ because it entails too many
rebuilds, but it could go on the next branch for massive rebuilds.

Thanks for your report,
Ludo’.
