This now calls abort() inside libgnome, saying:

GnomeUI-ERROR **: You must call gnome_program_init() before creating a
GnomeApp

So, if we call it like Andreas did:

I get this error now as well; it seems to be very much internal to GLib.
However now, we don't scm_error on GLib warning messages, as there's no
guarantee that that is safe or a good idea. So in this case it actually
gives you a GnomeApp back now.

libgnomeui is way deprecated though, on the upstream side, so I am not
suggesting that anyone do this ;-)
