Cannot confirm. Works fine here.

@awayand Please try deleting or moving your tilda user configuration folder (mv ~/.tilda ~/.tilda.backup) before starting.
IIRC tilda have a bug that makes it crash when parsing some custom configuration files.
Please paste here (using a pastebin service) your custom configuration file (~/.tilda/config_0) if you assure this is the cause.

I checked my config, and the file is actually empty. So I recreated it, and now it works. thanks!

@awayand Thanks for your confirmation. Empty or malformed user configuration file crashes tilda.

@Dragonlord
Attached are two patches and an updated PKGBUILD:
tilda-glib2.patch: let tilda build against latest glib2
tilda-conf-sigsegv.patch: prevent segfaults on malformed config files

Also i renamed the old fix.patch to tilda-fix.patch for consistency (feel free to revert).

Implementing this should close definitely the bug too.
   tilda-glib2.patch (0.4 KiB)
   tilda-conf-sigsegv.patch (0.5 KiB)
   PKGBUILD (1.3 KiB)
