  I don't have the tarball, but in the latest CVS (from a few minutes ago),
the following procedure will crash gwp:

(a) start the program
(b) Select "new document" from the menu or click the "New" toolbar button
(c) Click "Ok" in the dialog box asking you to choose a file type
(d) gwp crashes with a GDK BadWindow error.

Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
serial 3516 error_code 3 request_code 61 minor_code 0

  Haven't gotten around to fiddling in gdb..maybe it's just my setup that's
funny.  (but everything's CVS from the last 24 hours or so)

  Hope this helps, I want gwp by the time I have to write my next paper.. :-)

  PROOF:
(a) Assume the opposite.
(b) If something _is_ hopeless, then its condition can only improve.
(c) If its condition can only improve, then there must be hope for it.
(d) Therefore, nothing is hopeless.  QED.
