looks like you are using a strange locale 'POSIX' which is not
supported by your version of iconv.

the error message says it all, you are trying to use a NULL pointer as
a GtkEditable. Most probably something went wrong earlier when you
created it or you are having a bad memory corruption somewhere. Looks
like a job for gdb and probably valgrind.
