Package: claws-mail
Version: 3.2.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When trying to run claws-mail from bash or KDE 4 the program will
load briefly and then disappear.  In bash, the following message will
appear after the program has crashed:

/* Begin Message */
The program 'claws-mail' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 5608 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported
asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
/* End Message */

Other GTK-based programs like Synaptec and or The GIMP run correctly
without issue.  From Ubuntu's debugging procedures, I tried to get a
stack trace using the command
> strace -Ff -tt claws-mail 2>&1 | tee strace-claws-mail.log
and, to my surprise, claws-mail ran correctly without let or
hinderance.
