UI-BUG : new messages are not always displayed and other weirdnesses

["E. ALLAUD" <e allaud wanadoo fr>]

	Hi all,
I already reported this bug : when I check mail the messages are not 
always displayed instantaneously (!?!). I have to open another mailbox, 
and return to the Inbox to see the new messages. Moreover when the 
mousepointer is over the balsa messages index, it flickers (it seems to 
be infinetely refreshed). Here is one of the stack traces I had (in 
fact pressing crtl-c several times gave me different stack traces in 
gdb, meaning that I interrupted an infinite loop IMO) :

#0  0x4027374b in write () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x41209ea4 in _XlcPublicMethods () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#2  0x4117f2cf in _X11TransWrite () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#3  0x4115eef2 in _XFlush () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#4  0x4115ed79 in _XFlush () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#5  0x4114251e in _XFlushGCCache () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
#6  0x41159c3a in XSetClipMask () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6

So it is a gtk bug triggered by the idle callbacks we use here. I have 
also to say that this infinte loop seemed to "block" the idle handler 
because I could click on message, and the buttons in the toolbar would 
refresh accordingly (eg if I click on a deleted message, a lot of 
buttons are greyed) but nothing appears in the preview pane.
Is this recording something to someone, or who can I forward this to, 
because I think it is a gtk bug, but I fear that the report is quite 
useless (indeed I have not been able to reproduce it on demand). I 
heard about gtk-debug info, someone could explain it to me please?
Bye
