Comment 6 for bug 1520294

I ran another test, and confirmed that the problem is connected to using the GTK+ look-and-feel.

I discovered that if the configuration is changed so that it starts up with any of the following look-and-feels, it initializes normally:

Metal
Nimbus
CDE/Motif

After initializing with one of the above, I was able to change successfully to the GTK+ look-and-feel. But when I saved the configuration so that it will initialize next time using the GTK+ look-and-feel, the next time I tried to initialize it, it hung during initialization (at the point where it changes to the configured look-and-feel).
