The panel for camview, goes away leaving a blank white screen on the tab 
where the camera is displayed if either dimension of that tab assigned 
to the camera, is within 20 pixels of the cameras native pixels 
eventually, or instantly if the window area available exceeds the 
cameras 640x480 screen size. The gladevcp buttons at the bottom of that 
window also go away at the same time, and at the instant it fails, logs 
this to the terminal that started LCNC.

/usr/bin/gladevcp:295: Warning: g_object_ref: assertion 
`object->ref_count > 0' failed
  gtk.main()

Which is this paragraph in /usr/bin/gladevcp:
try:
        gtk.main() <---line 295
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        sys.exit(0)
    finally:
        halcomp.exit()

Which may as well be swahili to me. Makes absolutely no sense.

LCNC is not effected and continues to run just fine. But the only way to 
get the camera back is to shut down LCNC, and restart it. Its default 
size for that window results in an image whose aspect ratio is bounceing 
from 1/1 to about 1/1.25 at about 5 hz when the tab is clicked on.

Seems to me that error ought to point to something aglay.

But what?

Thanks Andy.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
