Comment 15 for bug 1876609

I modified gnome-panel/main.c:

        g_option_context_add_group (context, gtk_get_option_group (TRUE));
        g_option_context_add_main_entries (context, options, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);

+ gdk_threads_init(); // Added by David for gnubiff
        gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

        /* FIXME: High dpi scaling does not work... */
        gdk_x11_display_set_window_scale (gdk_display_get_default (), 1);

Rebuilt and installed the modified .deb files.

Now, I can receive email and the gnubiff applet says there is mail (ie the icon changes).
So definite progress. The panel seems fine after the mail has been received.

However I then get an Ubuntu error (from apport)
gnome-flashback crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_equal()

I am not sure if this error happens on subsequent emails being received or not.

I attach the back trace
