No it's not fixed now... I've noticed the bug sometime ago, however i
could not reproduce it acurately. Thanks for the report, now it should be
easier to find the problem. (I think i know what causes the bug, and if
i'm not mistaken it will take some major rewrites to fix).

It's a problem with a wrong argument to some GDK function. To be able to
debug in GDK properly you need to enable a comand line option --gdk-sync
or something like that i'll look at that tonight.
BTW does anyone have a rough estimate for the time freeciv 1.8.0 will come
out?
