more on gtk_init problem

[katre <katre mousetrap ml org>]

Well, I tried using gdb to step through the program. I set breakpoints around
gtk_init, and when it crashed ran bt to see where, exactly, it happened.  Here
is the result:

(gdb) 

I think that the problem appears to be that something (somewhere) in libX11
is calling a function named close, which conflists with my function named
close.  I tried renaming the function to avoid this conflict, however this did
not work.  So this may be an error in libX11 (which is libX11.so.6.1 on my
machine).

Thanks for your help.
