Here's asome silly thoughts, given the "Gtk-WARNING **", it look to me
that catfish can't find GTK Python bindings:
1. did you install wxPython (includes wxGTK) or wxGTK?
2. did you install anything GTK+3 or Python3 related on top of GTK+2
(wxGTK3, newer wxPython)?
3. did the devs switch to Python3? its like pulling teeth to find a
full dependency list from these Debian boneheads.  1.2.2 seems to
require Python3.

what happens if you build and run on a plain/default Slackware (e.g. a
VM)?  Since my main box is a fairly well "optimized" (ie buggered) up
Slack64 multilib, I dont trust errors on it until I check them out on
a clean Slackware VM.
