DDD 3.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) gets `BadGC' error

[Wim Lavrijsen]

Hello,

after installing ddd-3.3.1 on SuSE 7.1 with lesstif 0.93.18, I ran into
a crash of ddd and a printout requesting to mail you. I have attached the
log file.

After I start ddd and click beyond the intro screens, I select 'Edit' to
change the options and then I receive:

The problem is quite reproducable. Note that I have never actually used
ddd, so I'm not sure if there is any more information that might be useful.
If there is, let me know.

Best regards,
