The GailWindow error commes from the GTK+. I have looked into that without finding the source. However, I think a lot of GTK application have that message, so may well be this is something more general.

However in generall our GTK implementation is flawed. We call some wrong functions, I documented all I figured somewhere...

The 'Failed to load module "atk-bridge"' does not sound familiar atm.

Hmmm. Scanning both trunk and AOO419 for 'GailWindow', I'm not seeing any code 
level diffs between the 2.

I wonder if it's related to this:

Starting 4.19 in a terminal I get

Gtk-Message: 10:33:16.929: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
** (soffice:6909): WARNING **: 10:33:16.936: Unknown type: GailWindow
The Unknown type GailWindow has been around for quite some time.

I think the 'Failed to load module "atk-bridge"' is new; a similar error 
cropped up recently on en-Forum related to a Sigserv fault in connection with tables; 
that thread is
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=103974#p503393

The references in that thread (rather acrimonious!) are summed up in this post

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=103974&start=30#p503634

which is possibly all one will need to read

Running the 4.5.0 dev version has also thrown up the GailWindow error. The 
analysis in the post I referenced above on Forum  (...p503634) indicates 
GailWindow to be in the Accessible GTK+ applications framework, as is the 
atk-bridge.

If the suggestion to which you refer (... msg00596) is relevant and eliminates 
need for ~500 lines of code then that would be a Good Thing!

(Off topic: A "Good Thing", in capital letters, is a normally reference to a comic 
history of England "1066 and All That", by WC Sellar and RJ Yeatman, [London 1930], which 
boiled all English history down into 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings, and 2 Genuine Dates.  For people 
my age (now mid 70s), their division of history into Good Things and Bad Things greatly simplified 
the historical scene!)
