gui programs crashing on Linux

[willghatch]

I'm on Arch Linux with gtk3 version 3.22.24 and gtk2 version 2.24.31.

When I try to run some gui programs they freeze up and I have to kill them. It doesn't seem to happen with drracket, but it happens with other graphical programs, such as plt-games. If I use gtk3 it usually freezes almost immediately (at most within a few seconds), and if I use gtk2 it still freezes but it is usually delayed for a while. I haven't figured out what triggers it.

Testing with a 6.10 or 6.10.1 snapshot it doesn't seem to happen, but on the current master branch of Racket it does.

Does the v6.11 pre-release candidate work? http://pre-release.racket-lang.org/

My guess is that the pre-release candidate will be ok, and the problem is related to the switch to ffi/unsafe/... libraries instead of racket_... foreign functions.

The pre-release seems fine. So you're probably right.
