[GNC] GTK Inspector blowing up on Mint 20 (was Re: help increasing size of font in GnuCash?)

Wed Aug 19 02:51:54 EDT 2020

Hmm.. There are 57 packages on Mint that match `gtk-dbg`, but none of 
them seem terribly relevant. (all are specific to an app, save two for XDG)

Here's what I received from `bt full` after triggering the crash per 
your correct syntax with just gnucash-dbgsym (odd that "raise.c: No such 
file or directory" is):

That's changed quite a bit in the last 5 years or so as the Gtk4 design has evolved and GnuCash hasn't really been paying attention: It's still mostly a Gtk2 application with only the minimum amount of change needed to make it work in Gtk3.
