bug#31169: 26.1; Emacs 26.1 RC1 (gtk) display issues over SSH/X11 with x


From: charlie hemlock
Subject: bug#31169: 26.1; Emacs 26.1 RC1 (gtk) display issues over SSH/X11 with xming/vcxsrv
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:09:42 -0400

1. Build emacs 26 RC1 with --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
     a. confirm builds and runs ok when run local
2. Login to windows box, launch ssh -X putty session to linux host with
emacs 26 installed.  (windows xserver: vcxsrv or xming)
3. emacs -Q
4. Emacs does not display correctly. Missing minibuffer, & can't type in buffer.  Compare to attached screenshot.

I can compile Emacs 26.1 RC1 ok, and use it locally on the host fine.

However, when attempting to ssh -X to host via PuTTY 0.70 and launch  the Emacs gui  (emacs -Q), emacs is not displaying correctly. Using Windows xserver program VcXsrv (1.19.6.3).

See attached screenshot - no default welcome screen, and missing minibuffer too.

I suspect this issue is related to some combination of GTK and
Xming/VcXsrv, however the behavior does change between Emacs 25.3 and 26.1 RC1, see table below:

I'ved tried the follow commits, and only 25.3 is ok over PuTTY/SSH/X11 & xming/vcxsrv
 emacs-25.3 bd299e7       # Sep 12, 2017  # good
 emacs-26.0.90  906224    # Oct 11, 2017  # bad
 emacs-26.0.91 752fba99   # Jan 13, 2018  # bad
 emacs-26.1-rc1 c2674216  # Apr 9, 2018   # bad


The following ./configure options are desired:
--with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xwidgets  --with-modules --with-mailutils
Where gtk3 is required for xwidgets, so other x-toolkits are not the best solution.
Also --with-x-toolkit=gtk2  has same issues.

Also attempted on CentOS 7 / GTK+ Version 3.22.10 with similar behavior.
Thanks,
