I cannot reproduce problem with either CVS-HEAD (gtk-2.2.2 freeBSD-5.1) nor
4.0.3 (gtk-2.2.4 linux-2.4.22).

Could it be your version of gtk?

I'm using gtk 2.2.4 from Mandrake Linux 9.2. 

I also just attached an image of the bug.

Indeed. The filenames are missing as well as the icons. Please wait a short
while and update your CVS just to check if current version has the same
problem. You will know your CVS is up to date if you can rename files by
simply clicking on the file name to edit. Let us know if the problem
remains.

Ok.. updated and has the renaming bahavior you described. But the problem
is still there.

Seems to me like a Mandrake specific issue, as if the gtk library were
compiled with some sort of optimization that does not realize pixmaps
until actually displayed. I dunno what could be broken with the Mandrake
built binaries. Unless someone with a Mandrake box (not me) can come up
with a patch this bug will go unfixed to 4.2.

I'm going to recompile from source from gtk.org and see if it persists.

Ok, after a recompile of gtk+, the file names are there but the icons still
are not.

Well, seems we're moving in a positive direction. The icons reside in X
server memory, so it is possible that glib is also screwy and is the cause
of the invisible icons. Try recompiling glib.  Maybe that will complete
the trick. If it does, the problem should be brought to the attention of
the Mandrake guys too.

Ok, glib recompile complete, but no such luck. Same thing.

It might be the Xfree server. That one takes a loong time to compile, but
there are binaries at the XFree site. Apparently no system but Mandrake
experiences this problem.

OK, I can now reproduce the error, so it is not Mandrake specific. If you I
have the autosize filenames on, then all is well for the name column, but
the icon column is too small so no icons are visible. Without the autosize
filenames, the name column is also invisible. No problems with the other
columns, so it must be related to the sizing characteristics of the
column.

I'm almost sure this bug is fixed with changes uploaded today to CVS. The
bug is
reproduceable on FreeBSD and is due to faulty autosize function in gtk,
and that is probably the same situation in Mandrake. 
Please verify if bug is fixed in Mandrake, and if it is not, reopen bug.
