Re: [gtk-list] Re: Error when using VaxStation as terminal

[Kevin Handy <kth srv net>]

YES! That works MUCH better. Many thanks. (Hope this patch makes
it into the next release)

I was playing around in with the original code with 'testgtk',
and found the following created a core dump (but no traceback
information)

	clist, ctree, fileselection, fontselection, preview-grey

now the only one that coredumps is preview-grey, but the
funny thing is that preview-color works fine. Everything else
seems to work like it's supposed to in testgtk (so far).

The backtrace of the segmentation fault gives me no useful
information (20 addresses with no module names or
function names) so I'll have to work on it to get that info
before bitching too loudly :)
