As you can see in the upstream bug report [1], this is due to geeqie tries to start GTK with clutter no matter what, and if that fails it causes a hard crash that it has a hard time recovering from. As you can see there will be an command line option in future releases to start without clutter, and by this work around the problem. /Andreas gus...@debian.org 1: https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/559
