I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently, and most of the times I fire up Emacs I also start Gnus. I'll try to see if I can reproduce this without running Gnus at all. > In any case, the backtrace indicates that the crash occurs deep in > GTK/Glib.

So the > bug is probably in GTK or Glib, not in Emacs. Ok, I'm not sure if this is an Emacs bug. It is definitely *not* reproducible with any other toolkit, so it may be ok for the update of the package/port to 22.0.95 to use a warning in the package installation which mentions that 'make WITH_GTK=yes' *may* cause problems.
