Description Fernando Apesteguía freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-06-07 15:18:25 UTC 
Fresh install of openbox 3.6_14 and obconf 2.0.4_7.

obconf starts up. When clicking on a theme, it segfaults with:

(obconf:2933): Pango-WARNING **: 17:06:55.829: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
Segmentation fault         (core dumped) obconf

Hi,

Could you create a files directory in the x11-wm/obconf port, drop in the attached patch there, rebuild and check if it fixes the issue?

P.S: Will you upstream this?

Great, thanks for testing!

I have opened a pull request: https://github.com/danakj/obconf/pull/13, but I'm not really sure if anything is going to happen. The latest release was 2013.
