The GTK-server indeed accepts the STDIN as input. The SEGFAULT is strange however, it shouldn't happen. On my Slackware it runs OK, I just tried it also. The only situation I can think of is when there is a problem in the 'gtk-server.cfg' file. Did you change anything in there? Furthermore make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LC_ALL environment settings are properly set. Finally you can try to run the static gtk-server binary (download from my site) which is statically linked with GTK1. Please let me know your results. >... > >I'll check on the things you mentioned in your last post, and report >back to you. >I am using GTK2.
