Use current gtk+ from git or 2.14 

Use current gnumeric git with the patch from 144787 (of course with compilation of the main part of that patch enabled).

Run gnumeric

Add a slider to the empty gnumeric window.

Select preview. This will result in a crash from within gtk_widget_get_snapshot.

The following info is obtained by setting a break point at gtk_widget_get_snapshot while running 

jhbuild run gdb --args gnumeric --sync

Gdk-ERROR **: The program '/home/aguelzow/gnumeric/bin/gnumeric' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 67177 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
