Comment 4 for bug 1204896

I tried revision 1627 from the PPA (0.99.0+1627-0ppa~saucy1). I am running Kubuntu Saucy in VirtualBox. And it is crashing for me, too. The output from the terminal is:

htpc@htpc-VirtualBox:~$ onboard

gi._glib.GError: Unrecognized image file format

I don't know where I can find the log files - so I've written print(filename) in an appropiate place. The image file mentioned is /usr/share/onboard/layouts/images/erase.svg, I hope that helps.
