Subject: balsa crashes upon startup

Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 18:20:59 -0500

Package: balsa
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: normal

When I start up balsa from the menu or from a terminal window, it crashes
immediately.  An Error window appears saying Application "balsa" (process 1120)
has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault).

Subject: balsa doesn't crash on another machine

Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 13:02:31 -0500

Package: balsa
Version: 0.6.0-1

I tried running balsa on another somewhat similarly configured machine, and
it doesn't crash.  There is one perhaps key difference between the two
machines.  On the machine that crashes, I have been using balsa as a mail
reader using the previous version (0.4?).  I hadn't ever setup balsa on
the machine that doesn't crash.

Your .balsarc is included.  If that's the scope of the bug report,
then I can close it since it does not crash on my box.  Instead
balsa displays the configurator and spits out

*** One of inbox/outbox/sentbox/draftbox/trash is NULL

Subject: Easily reproducable:

Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 15:54:57 -0400

  I just thought I'd let you know that I haven't had any trouble reproducing
this at all, and I hadn't even seen the bug report!

  What I did was this:

  (a) Start a server
  (b) Start a robot in the server, the robot pops up a dialog box and appears
     in the player list.
  (c) Start a client
  (d) Send ships
  (e) Click "start"
  (f) Try to play, I can see the robot shooting at me, but I can't see where
     I've tried to shoot at the robot.

  Is the game supposed to be played "blind"?

  I also see Gtk-WARNING messages about "invalid cast from GnomeClient", perhaps
that's related?
