Bug Description

If you click the minimize window button Eterm crashes with the following information:

Eterm: Error: Received terminal signal SIGSEGV (11)
Eterm: Error: Attempting to dump a stack trace....
Eterm: Error: Your system does not support any of the methods Eterm uses. Exiting.

Having looked at the code and building it with debug symbols I noticed that the error manifests itself in bbar_dispatch_event() (buttons.c:393) the event type is reported as being 64, this is then used to index the array buttonbar->event_data.handlers[ev->type] this gives an out-of-bounds value of 0xffffffff which is then used as a function pointer on the next line, thus the SEGV error.
