[CinePaint] Big problems with Cinepaint 1.4.0 under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3

Hello friends!

I have used Cinepaint for more than ten years, and it is still the best 
open source/free software image editor.

Yes, GIMP still lacks serious color management, the internal engines are 
programmed to presuppose sRGB in all files.

However, since I had to upgrade from OpenSuSE 13.2 to Leap 42.3 because 
of compatibility issues with new RAW image converters I have encountered 
two big problems. I use CinePaint 1.4.0. The exact version is 
cinepaint-1.4.1-1.19.x86_64. I have also tried 
cinepaint-1.4.1-2.40.x86_64, but that one would not open a single file 
and instead crashed.

Problem 1: Failure to open the program from the graphical menu in the 
systray:

Problem 2: This is very serious:

- The first problem is an inconvenience. It is possible to start the 
program from the console, but it is not optimal in particular if we want 
more people to use CinePaint.

- The second problem is serious, it hampers the program function and 
these error messages pop up constantly. No matter what I do with 
Cinepaint under OpenSuSE Leap 42.3, a very large number of similar error 
messages litter the screen.

Can you give me - and others with the same problems - help to remedy 
them effectively?
