Application crashing with Bad Window error only on OLPC 767 build

[shivaprasad javali]

Finally some more information about what is happening. The application that
I am running previously didn't use any UI packages and worked directly with
windows through X calls. I had to add a xulrunner based browser to it which
accepted only a gtk window and couldn't work with an X window directly. So I
added the code for just the browser to use gtk.

I switched to the old code ( pre gtk) and it works fine on the XO with 767
sugar build. Then I tried adding the gtk_init() call to the initialization
sequence and it crashed immediately. I guess the problem has something to do
with both gtk and X windows working together.( Although I don't get why the
problem should persist only when I launch my app from the activity bar and
not when I run it from the terminal) . Can anybody help me figure out what
the problem might be?

Thanks
