This is the "Gnucash quit unexpectedly" stack trace "Problem Details and System Configuration"

It's really easy to drive this crash:  
1) Bring up Gnucash [I'm on an iMac, OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)],
2) close the Tip of the Day window,
3) then attempt to reopen it (I used the GnuCash "Windows" pull-down menu, clicking on "Tip of the Day"):
4) Boom!

I first did it using my own accounts file, which is quite large.  Then I created a minimal new set of accounts, the "Simple Checkbook", and used that, with no transactions.  Still happens.

I recently upgraded from 2.4.7 to 2.4.13.  I don't know if it would happen with 2.4.7 or not.

I created this BugZilla account just now, in order to submit this bug, but I really don't know my way around BugZilla at all.

The Tip of the Day entry shouldn't be in the Windows menu, that's bug 703272. If you use Help>Tips of the Day to reopen the window it won't crash, but you'll see multiple entries in the Windows menu.

This will be fixed in the next release thanks to using a newer version of Gtk with the underlying bug fixed.

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
