Re: [Geary] Main window not shown

[Oliver <ogtifs gmail com>]

Hi, as I mentioned in my first message, I tried both the Arch binary 
package and compiling from master (in the same way as mentioned in 
#737811, from AUR geary-git) with the same bug appearing in both 
circumstances. Strange that the poster and I both managed to get it 
working with seemingly opposite approaches. I'm happy to just let this 
be for now - if it pops up again in the next upgrade I will dig deeper.

Cheers,
Oliver
