....

It goes back through the list of function calls. This allows you to
inspect variables, etc.

What would interest me is what the content of R_gnome_userprefs.font
if you go up to #40 (in R_gtk_terminal_new () at terminal.c:112). Just
type 

p R_gnome_userprefs.font

if it's NULL, then we might have a lead on the problem. But Lyndon
Drake is the guy who knows his way around the Gnome stuff, not me.

What is in your .gnome/R.gnome file, by the way?

HA. The solution is often very simple. I should have thought of
looking here myself. Under [Text] there is no entry for font!
Enter a font and R.gnome works.

This means that it would also have worked with libglade-0.3-1.
Is this an ommision in configure/make/make install?

Thanks for taking the time to respond and the suggestions.

It's not supposed to happen. Mine certainly got filled in without any
help. Perhaps a default font used to get inserted? With a font entry
like yours, my version also burns to cinders in a flurry of

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 360 (gdk_char_width): assertion
`font != NULL' failed.

(And as Brian remarked, the libglade seems not to be actually used in
0.65. We just wouldn't tamper any more with the configure program...)
