Hm.  This is what I got on my Debian testing where I just upgraded 
backintime-qt to unstable:

# backintime-qt

Back In Time
Version: 1.3.3-dev

Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `backintime --license' for details.

INFO: user-callback returned '- GUI started'
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
INFO: user-callback returned '- Mounting drives
Mounting /backup'
INFO: user-callback returned '- Unmounting drives
Unmounting /backup'
INFO: user-callback returned '- GUI closed'
Segmentation fault


The segmentation fault on exit may be harmless, and may have been there for a 
long time, as I usually call it from the graphics menu.

That is a good point.


Why not setting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to something bening and get rid of the
warning?  For example, I see that people use /tmp/runtime-root as a
fallback.


Can you do me a favour please and check again with the latest version 
1.3.3. (from "unstable" repo in Debian) or directly from our upstream 
github repo? I assume this is fixed as a side effect of this commit:

https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/commit/26d079a9f30c02ac91d8f0e5cbb6d94ef2065f78

A better solution would be to get rid of the Qt stuff. I assume that 
some of the Qt stuff can be replaced by Python-inbuild features.

Thank you for caring and for checking.
