Hi the following bug report concerns
commit 93136169cba9c7c8f82
When compiling with the option
--with-x-toolkit=athena
Or to be precise
1) I run ./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs29 --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-pop --with-mailutils
2) I run make bootstrap
3) make
4) cd src
5) ./emacs -Q
6) I obtain two screens I attach
When I repeat the steps without the --with-x-toolkit=athena
option, everything is fine
regards
Uwe Brauer

I just start working with the non athena version, opening a file also causes emacs to shrink dramatically and I end up with something very ugly, screenshot attached.
And obtaining message like
(emacs:17059): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

That's a bug in GTK.

Ok, but right now I cannot upgrade GTK, so in earlier master versions, I
had no problem, so could there be a fix on the Emacs side?

I don't know. If you bisect to the change in Emacs that causes it, then
I could probably fix it.

Ok, sigh, I was afraid of that, but fair enough, and currently master
has some nice new exiting features I would like to test.
I try that later today.

BTW, screwing around with the Kwin in Trinity did not result in the bug
for me, so it would be nice if you could bisect for that as well.
Thanks.

I found it, *you* are the culprit 😉
It is commit 136495f178cc
* commit 136495f178ccd36b23ffc347fe2b6680fd689e34
│ Author: Po Lu <luangruo <at> yahoo.com>
│ Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 10:17:20 +0800
│
│ Gently nudge Xt into always setting size hints
│
│ * src/widget.c (update_wm_hints): Force a resource to change
│ every time this function is called. (bug#57475)
│ (EmacsFrameInitialize): Initialize new field.
│ * src/widgetprv.h (EmacsFramePart): New field `size_switch'.
│ * src/xterm.c (x_wm_set_size_hint): Don't change flags if flags
│ is 0.
That causes the problem with and without athena. So it is responsible
for both problems.
I hope that can be solved.

Did you test with GTK during the bisection as well? That code only
affects the X toolkit builds.
Also, what happens if you remove the change to widget.c?

You mean for all 9 tests I had to run? No, because then I would have to
run make clean after each compile, right?
That would have doubled my time and it took me the whole afternoon to
run the test, my Thinkpad is from 2017.
> Also, what happens if you remove the change to widget.c?
You mean I revert that particular change to the commit just before?
I will do that now and report back
Once that is solved, I will try to test the GTK stuff.

Just a build, you don't need to run "make clean" to switch toolkits.

Yes, just the change in widget.c. Thank you.

I did this now, and run
Make clean
make boostrap
Again (not sure whether this necessary)
Be it as it may, this *solves* my issue. So this code in widget.c screws
up my athena setting.
I am waiting for a solution to this problem, before continuing to bisect
the GTK problem.

Unfortunately, without it, frame placement is screwed up for everyone
else. I will push what is hopefully a fix shortly.

I pulled, run run make clean, just in case, run configure with athena and compiled:
Issue solved, thanks very much!
