Bug#443955: certain GTK themes seems to make audacity not crash during the start-up

[Géraud Meyer <geraud_meyer@hotmail.com>]

You were right. audacity starts fine under KDE and GNOME/Openbox.

I used gnome-appearance-properties to change the themes. Only a limited
number of "Control themes" seem to allow audacity to start: Mist, Sphere
Crystal, Crux and Raleigh (I might have missed a few). With certain
themes the start-up message of audacity is `Segmentation fault'.

Only those same themes allow also vlc to start (with the wxwidgets
interface), so the problem must be related to wxwidgets.
