How did you do that?

What version of GTK did you use?

This looks similar, but not identical to, messages posted by Robert 
Vogel in his screen dumps.  I can't get at my Linux box to try, but I 
don't think I've seen these.  I could be mistaken.

Do you have a file called .Jazz under your home directory?

If yes, what's in it?

If not, could you create on and put the following in it...

[Paths]
Conf=LOCATION_OF_CONFIGURATION_FILES

Where LOCATION_OF_CONFIGURATION_FILES is an absolute path to your 
configuration file directory.  I have the following...

[Paths]
Conf=/home/pstieber/Jazz++/jazzplusplus/trunk/jazz/conf/

Let me know is any of this help.  I might commit a version with some 
debug code to help us figure out what is going on.
