The program seems to run normally, but it is interrupted every 2nd second to 
output the GtK assert message, probable with a sleep(1). So it runs for 50% 
of the time :)

well, gmfsk works well... it also works together with xlog. But I could also 
think of a combination of twpsk and hfterm, which claims to do rtty and 
pactor. As far as I can see not (yet?) available for debian. I have it 
running under suse, will do some testing tomorrow.. Unfortunately I haven't 
done any rtty contesting since the hamcom days... Pactor would be a necessity 
for remote sites without internet, to upload the log files.
