Description
When trying to run one of the examples from the book, the window is created, but no widgets render:
use druid::widget::Label;
use druid::{AppLauncher, Widget, WindowDesc};
fn build_ui() -> impl Widget<()> {
Label::new("Hello world")
}
fn main() {
let main_window = WindowDesc::new(build_ui())
.window_size((600.0, 400.0))
.title("My first Druid App");
let initial_data = ();
AppLauncher::with_window(main_window)
.launch(initial_data)
.expect("Failed to launch application");
}
In the console I get this error:
(rust-plugin-try:190043): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:10:25.770: gtk_window_set_default_size: assertion 'width >= -1' failed
I apologize if this isn't the right place to put this issue, but I haven't had any issues running apps so far so It seems to be specific to this project? I'm willing to provide any version numbers/environment variables asked of me, but here are some basics:
Rust: 1.75.0
Druid: 0.8.3
Sway: 1.8.1
Nix: 2.18.1

Also, I don't know how relevant it is, but I'm using a shell.nix file to setup the environment
which looks like this:
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [
pkgs.alsaLib
pkgs.pkg-config
pkgs.pango
pkgs.cairo
pkgs.gdk-pixbuf
pkgs.gtk3
];
shellHook = ''
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${pkgs.alsaLib}/lib/pkgconfig:${pkgs.pango}/lib/pkgconfig:${pkgs.cairo}/lib/pkgconfig:${pkgs.gdk-pixbuf}/lib/pkgconfig:${pkgs.gtk3}/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
'';

Research direction
Start by reproducing the book's minimal example with Rust 1.75.0 and Druid 0.8.3 on NixOS 23.11 under Sway, using the reported shell.nix dependencies. Investigate the window-creation path around the GTK assertion; done means the example displays its widget without the assertion.
