What system are you running on?
What version of GTK are you using?

This reminds me of some errors that were fixed a while ago, but
it could be something different. In any case, its the type
of thing that could be affected by the changes since 0.99.3,
so I'd say you should try again with 0.99.4 once that comes
out this weekend. (Or you could get the CVS tree by anon-CVS)
