Re: printing from command line does not work

Hello,

I'm mostly just a lurker here, but I got curious after your email, and
went digging around in the source.  The print-to-a-file function
contents is #ifdef'ed out.  I mucked around and managed to get the
printing to work by calling

sodipodi_application_new();
sp_modules_init(&argc, argv, TRUE);
sodipodi_unref();

at the start of the sp_main_console function in main.c, and futzing
around a bit with the print.c and modules/ps.c files.

I get an error message:

(process:30269): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmain.c: line 1150
(gtk_main_quit): assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed

however.  Can any of you real sodipodi hackers give me some pointers
about what might be happening, or where I might look?  I'm assuming that
the sodipodi_application_new() path is doing something which is
initializing gtk?  Any pointers welcome.

thanks,
-emile
