What version? Sylpheed (-claws) pkgsrc was updated from 1.0.4 to 2.5.5
in October. I don't like 2.5.5 (thread view, @^&!*% anti-aliased fonts,
unable to use good, old, standard X11 fonts, no GPG out of the box ...),
I am going back to 1.somthing.

It seems the pkgsrc Sylpheed-claws 2.5.5 doesn't support GPG out of the
box.

It is easy and reliably to reproduce with Sylpheed-claws 2.5.5. Open a
mail folder, set all mails to unread and walk from mail to mail with the
space bar. At one point sylpheed scrols the thread view / message list.
I always get a garbled screen at that point. But only the area that is
scroled gets garbled. As you noted in the other mail: The text in the
thread view / message list uses anti-aliased fonts... (Didn't you add
hardware acceleration to X for font anti-aliasing?)

Hmmm. The old thread problem again. :-(

BTW: I had a quick look at the trace of the Sylpheed-claws 2.5.5 crash.
It doesn't look like X11 related.
