Comment 39 for bug 144175

I was happy, when Tilda on fresh Gutsy install runs even that it became gray and unusable. But now after a week of using Gutsy Tilda doesn't shows up at all... :(

This is what I get:

$ tilda --version
tilda 0.09.4

$ dpkg -l tilda |grep tilda
ii tilda 0.09.4-4 terminal emulator with first person shooter console likeness
$ rm -r ~/.tilda
    # After this, configuration window shows up.
    # I do not made any changes and just press „OK“.
    # For less than a second Tilda window flashes and immediately disappears.
    # After that fallowing output appears:

** (tilda:6484): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:
        /home/sirex/.themes/Leopard_GTK_v0.2/gtk-2.0/Tabs/notebook_top_flat.png,

   # Then I switch back Ubuntu's GTK Human theme.
$ tilda
$ ps -e | grep tilda
$
   # All output disappears, but Tilda is still crashing.

   # After that I switched off all visual affects and changed not only GTK theme but changed whole theme to Human (with window borders, mouse cursors and so on..). And this is what I get:
$ tilda

(tilda:6572): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_geometry_hints: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
$ ps -e | grep tilda
$
     # Then changed whole theme to Clearlooks, and Visual Effects is still turned off.
$ tilda

$ tilda
$ tilda
$ tilda
$ ps -e | grep tilda
$

Hope that this helps some how to finally fix Tilda.
