Did you use the same prefix you use for your other gnome packages? For
instance, if you have gnome installed on /usr you should run autogen.sh
like this:

	./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

and if you had on /opt/gnome you should run

	./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome

and the default is /usr/local and if you have it installed on other place
it will not find the pixmaps and the sounds.

Do you know how to use gdb? Just run 'gdb balsa'. And the use command
'run'. After balsa showed up make it crash. gdb will be waiting for a
command and then you use command 'bt' and send the output to this list.
After this you exit by using command 'quit'.

Please try with no locales:

	LANG=en_US balsa

and see if you still have the second error.

Bye, thanks for the bug report and have a happy new year.
