Thanks, Murray. However '--g-fatal-warnings' option did not work for me, 
gdb gave some useful information:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/tiusender/Projects/myprogram/src/myprogram
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

`str != NULL' failed

I guess is something related to gdk (obviously), but it comes with gtk, 
isn't it? So I must reinstall or recompile gtk, gtkmm, both? Thanks in 
advance.
