Description of problem:
When launching gcolor2 the application window appears very briefly (flashes on the screen) then goes away.  When launched from the shell there is no segfault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcolor2-0.4-1.fc11.x86_64

Hi Douglas, thanks for your report and sorry for the late reply.

This is really weird because it used to work and all that has changed in the meantime is the update to gtk2-2.16.6. gtk2 2.16. should be compatible to previous releases, but obviously it is not (this is not the first problem I have with it).

I will have to look into this deeper, but I'm pretty busy with other stuff ATM.

OK, I have found the problem, an update is on it's way.

I've tested the update and it does appear to work; I tested launching the app and picking a color on the color wheel.
