thank you for the patch, it fixes the reproducible crash upon startup,
and I have committed it to pkgsrc-wip.

However, I am afraid that it may break functionality, and allow only the
main Gtk+ thread to start. Map download in particular was performed in a
separate thread in TangoGPS IIRC, and here foxtrot doesn't download
anything... I'm afraid this issue results from the patch. It may be more
work than just this to get it to run properly :/

Please let me know if it works better for you.

Cheers,
