[GNC] Import CSV: save settings doesn't save

[Marcus Winston]

Thanks for the reply. I don't get any sort of pop-up when I type in a 
name and click on the Save button.

I finally found something that might help. This might be a question for 
the gnucash-dev list (rather than the user list). When I try to save the 
import profile, I get the following lines in the gnucash.trace file:

* 07:26:33  WARN <GLib-GObject> invalid cast from 'GtkBox' to 'GtkComboBox'
* 07:26:33  WARN <GLib-GObject> invalid cast from 'GtkBox' to 'GtkBin'
* 07:26:33 ERROR <Gtk> gtk_bin_get_child: assertion 'GTK_IS_BIN (bin)' 
failed
* 07:26:33 ERROR <Gtk> gtk_entry_get_text: assertion 'GTK_IS_ENTRY 
(entry)' failed
* 07:26:33 ERROR <Gtk> gtk_combo_box_get_active_iter: assertion 
'GTK_IS_COMBO_BOX (combo_box)' failed

This is from LInux Mint 18.3, and I built GnuCash from source (since it 
wasn't available in my package manager). If anyone has an idea on what 
to do with/about these error messages, I'd surely appreciate knowing. 
It's possible that there was some missing dependency when I built 
GnuCash. I'm pretty computer literate, but not quite a software 
engineer, so could have missed some important error message.
