OK.  Vasco thinks the problem is because of some odd GTK code right in 
the nation selection dialog (including the GTK_IS_OBJECT line); this 
code differs from the gui-gtk code for unknown reason.  We'll just have 
to see what he comes up with...

I was eventually able to reproduce this myself after starting 3-4 games 
with the same client.
