[core-updates-frozen] geeqie fails to launch |

Hello,
The failure looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ geeqie
(geeqie:6216): Gdk-ERROR **: 23:30:16.057: The program 'geeqie' received an X
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 180 error_code 2 request_code 152 (GLX) minor_code 24)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap
$ GDK_SYNCHRONIZE= geeqie
(geeqie:6217): Clutter-CRITICAL **: 23:30:26.345: Unable to initialize Clutter:
Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found.
Can't initialize clutter-gtk.
Start Geeqie with the option "geeqie --disable-clutter"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The suggested workaround (geeqie --disable-clutter) works.
Thanks,
Maxim

I can confirm that the patch fixes the issue for me.
I’ve added it to the ‘geeqie’ package, thank you!
