I recently upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 13.10 from 13.04. After the upgrade, I was able to open medit and work with it fine. However, every subsequent time I opened medit, the window appeared briefly then immediately closed. I uninstalled/reinstalled the program, to no avail, and purging/reinstalling didn't help either. If I open from terminal, this is the error message I get:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I am using ArchLinux with AwesomeWM and i am getting the same GLib-GObject warnings.

My medit works perfectly fine though, despite those warnings. Except in some Xorg sessions, medit would freeze but that was xcompmgr's fault and I've since switched to a different composition manager. And it's probably neither relevant here nor worthy of a ticket of its own.

Have you (John) built medit from source or is it a distro package? Can you get a crash dump by any chance?
As to warnings, that needs to be fixed, apparently it will become a real problem eventually: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614. Medit is not gnome, so it can get broken.
I'm still working on proficiency with Linux, but I'm pretty sure I
installed it from a distro: installing via the Ubuntu Software Center or
via the command apt-get install medit. How do I get a crash dump report?
