Summary:                    Freeze after "1st time run" wizard when launched
graphically (double-click) or via Powershell
Description: 
Grisbi freezes on completion of the 1st time run wizard (when there is no
configuration file), and when Grisbi is launched graphically with a
double-click in explorer.exe, or by a command line in Powershell.

Basically, it only works when launched from cmd.exe

Launching Grisbi for the first time only works if launched with the command
line "grisbi" (as such in the Windows Processes Explorer). It fails when
launched with the full path command line ("c:\grisbi6b1\grisbi.exe").

I also tried adding "."(current directory) and the full path of my Grisbi
build to my Path, and it didn"t help; so it doesn't seem to ba a
PATH-related issue.

Located the problem.
The call to
     gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(string, NULL), in file
gsb_currency_config.c; line 1251
freezes when string is a full path to a file that doesn't exist (which
happens when grisbi is launched graphically).

If the path is relative to the grisbi.exe folder, then the call ends
normally, and the exec carries on.

I believe this is a gtk+ bug, so I tried compiling with a newer version of
the bundle
(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20090910_win32.zip
), but it didn't help.

I try to launch Grsibi as said in this report, it work. It is really the
same bug as 0000665

Found the real source of the problem.

It seems that on Windows Vista, in a given directory, all files beginning
with the "CON" string exist, and are protected. However, they do NOT appear
in explorer, even when system files are shown. (Just try creating CON.txt
on you desktop, and you'll see)

Therefore, when gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file tries to load the png, it doesn't
stop because the file doesn't exits (because windows says it does), but
crashes because windows won't let gdk touch the file.

The only working solution I can think of is to change the congo flag
filename to "CO_.png" (or something else that doesn't start with "CON") in
gsb_currency_config.c, so that gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file can fail properly.
