I find that when a GUI program is misbehaving, it is often helpful to try
starting the application by entering its name at a shell prompt rather
than by clicking on something or selecting from a GUI menu. When doing
that, GUI programs that misbehave might give somewhat useful output in
the shell sessions from which you launched it.
Just a thought, for future references. . . .
