P.S. recent time balsa complains in the run-time:
(balsa:9399): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display:
assertion `atom != GDK_NONE' failed
Cannot open: unable to open database file
Do you have a good explanation for this?
Sadly, no! The Gdk-CRITICAL warning occurs when Balsa (or any other
app) uses gtk_dialog_run() to present a modal dialog.
<URL:http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2009-June/msg00017.html>
suggests that it should be fixed in some gtk update, but I'm still
seeing it in 2.16.5.
See <URL:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508915>. The warning
was apparently inserted in the code tree for the f11 package--upstream
shows no sign of it. I interpret it as a misplaced fix for a minor bug in
lookup_cached_xatom, which leads to a redundant but harmless entry in a
pair of hash tables when gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display is passed
GDK_NONE. I posted a patch, if you're interested in a fix!
Best,
Peter
