As mysteriously as the problem came, it disappeared as I was attempting
to differentiate a raw, first-time user configuration from my own. By
the time I had copied all my own files back (settings.xml,
tabs/.last_session_tabs, modops.conf, etc), it acted as though nothing
was ever wrong.

I hate that kind of mystery the worst.

Having said this, I vaguely remember a few days ago having had problems with 
opening my preferences and deleting in the end the .xiphos folder. All worked 
fine after that.

Karl, the only thing I can say is that I do not have anything similar on my 
computer - I am running git-head on Debian testing and I have only the menu bug 
I reported. 

So, I struggle to offer you any assistance.

I did git reset back to the 4.0.7 release. I still get no prefs dialog.
Whatever has gone wrong is somehow environmental in my system.

If I stuff up my own dummy routine in preferences_dialog.c...

GVolumeMonitor *g_volume_monitor_get(void) { return NULL; }

...I get lots of...

(xiphos:16044): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
(xiphos:16044): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object:
assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

...plus a bunch of...

(xiphos:16044): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_volume_monitor_get_mounts:
assertion 'G_IS_VOLUME_MONITOR (volume_monitor)' failed
(xiphos:16044): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **:
g_volume_monitor_get_connected_drives: assertion 'G_IS_VOLUME_MONITOR
(volume_monitor)' failed

...but no functional change.

If I take that out and instead insert a similar dummy for
g_unix_volume_monitor_init(), I stop getting all the warnings but the
behavior (no dialog) is the same.

What has started asking for "volume monitoring," why has it begun in the
last 48 hours, how does it affect signal connections, and why can't I
get around it to see a prefs dialog? And why doesn't it affect any other
window's creation?
