Filezilla Crashes on Drag and Drop – Ubuntu 11.10

Filezilla

Filezilla – What just happened?!

Recently Filezilla crashes on drag and drop, I believe its an Ubuntu 11.10 problem as I don’t remember this occurring before. It’s pretty drastic so I’m sure I would have noticed!

Whenever I try to drag and drop a folder Filezilla disappears (exits or crashes – however you want to explain it!). It wasn’t too painful to fix…. luckily.

Gtk-WARNING Default font does not have a positive size

As “Gtk-WARNING Default font does not have a positive size” suggests, this arises from a font size specified incorrectly, or not at all in some cases. This problem annoyed me for a while after using a few different window managers with Linux (Ubuntu in particular). I believe it came about after changing some font settings and changing themes a few times, particularly with LXappearance. I’m guessing if you are looking at this you have also made a few changes and are now also being annoyed by this message!

The Problem

You will see this annoying message, repeated numerous times in the terminal, when launching applications from a terminal:

Gtk-WARNING **: Default font does not have a positive size
