X11 specific bug. If the program calls SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_FALSE) at some point, it results in message boxes crashing (as they can't seem to create the cursor needed for some reason).

Workaround until bug is fixed: make sure to call SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_TRUE) before showing the message box.

test program that doesn't trigger issue.

I can't reproduce this here. I've attached my simple test program. Do you have something that's a little more complex that triggers it?

Test program that shows the behavior

Turns out to be more specific than I thought at first. One needs to call SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_FALSE) and then SDL_Quit() in order for it to trigger. Given this is one of the few functions supposed to work even when SDL isn't initialized (as one of its main purposes is to show error messages), this is probably a rather important bug.

This bug doesn't happen if the function is called without SDL having been ever initialized, nor if the cursor is visible when SDL is deinitialized.

Ok, Attachment # 1235 definitely crashes for me. Looking into this.
