Disabling GLX. Another desktop has an on-board NVIDIA GPU. When I first
began to use Fedora (with version 21), anything from Mozilla: Firefox,
Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, crashed on that system. Didn't find much
through Googling, but learned GLX had something to do with hardware
acceleration. I disabled it on that system (GLX remains disabled on it
to this day.) and those three apps no longer crashed. FWIW, I tried
duplicating the same Claws crash on that system - without success.

In disabling GLX on this system (with an on-board AMD Radeon), Claws
now does not crash when changing the theme in LXDE. Although it
continues to crash in LXQt, MATE and XFCE.

I am tempted to leave the bug reports as they are.
