Description Adam Dingle 2013-04-08 09:39:13 UTC 
To see the problem:

1. Start Devhelp.
2. Choose File->New Window to create a second window.
3. Close the second window.
4. Open Preferences and check "Group by language".

Devhelp will crash:

===
(devhelp:10410): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `DhBookTree'

(devhelp:10410): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
===

Similarly, if in step 4 you go to Preferences->Fonts and check "Use system fonts", you'll see a slew of critical errors on the console (though Devhelp won't crash).
