DrRacket launch error in Ubuntu 22.04

[tmjvasiga]

I am running Ubuntu 22.04, launching DrRacket 8.6 (or 8.2). I have installed them at different times using "sudo apt install racket" and also "sudo snap install racket", and in both cases, when trying to launch DrRacket from the command line, I get the following error.

  C type: _int32
  value: 963/2
  context...:
   .../ffi/unsafe.rkt:1917:18: make-GdkRectangle
   /usr/racket/share/pkgs/gui-lib/mred/private/wx/gtk/frame.rkt:620:0: display-origin
   /usr/racket/share/pkgs/gui-lib/mred/private/wxtop.rkt:53:6
   body of "/usr/racket/share/pkgs/gui-lib/mred/private/wxtop.rkt"

I'm not the right person to address this, but it looks to me like the call to make-GdkRectangle on line 614 of frame.rkt is passing non-integer arguments to make-GdkRectangle which is then trying to convert them to int32s.

This definitely looks related to the change

... that appears to be new in 8.6. I'm slightly surprised that you see this bug in 8.2 as well.

I would say that @capfredf is the right person to respond to this?

I will fix the issue later this week

@jbclements can you transfer this issue to racket/gui?
