[Gambas-user] Gambas 3.4.2 hanging on startup (Ubuntu 12.10 with Cinnamon desktop)

[Cam Era]

As a follow-up on this email, I have tested the following desktop
environments (Unity, Gnome Classic), on the same version of Ubuntu (12.10)
and all exhibit the same problem of Gambas hanging while loading, at
exactly the same system call. This doesn't seem to therefore be a problem
with the desktop environment, per-se.
