the latest defaultfile branch

[Lubomir I. Ivanov]

just a note,

i''m now a using a pre-compiled bundle of binaries for windows
including gtk 2.24.10-1 the same version of gtk was previously
reported to crash in similar ways (?).
i still cannot reproduce the crash explained in this thread and also
the "tree store" API seems to be working fine as much as i can
"butcher" it.
this leads me to believe that it isn't GTK crashing but in fact
something else - a lower level library (e.g. glib, pthread), which is
technically worse. :\

if this is the case, subsurface should perhaps refrain from using the
bogus functionality or suggest to users to update specific library
runtimes (which we haven't root-caused yet i think).
also, for such a fragile environment created by library distributions,
where an application is quite dependant, i really would investigate
options to include object code that _actually works_ with the
application distribution, either with static linking (which is quite
the mission for gtk) or dynamic linking with what is provided;
strictly targeting the end user that does not wan't to even compile.

not the issue on windows, since we have an exe + a bunch of dlls there
in a folder, but i think this has to be addressed somehow on other OS.
thoughs / ideas ? :-)
