Ok, so the error log looks like this (Win98SE):

2: LANGUAGE="pl-pl"

This isn't reproducible, second run gives this:

It's clearly related to Win32 API, not GTK itself (though there might
be an issue.) In both cases no window appeared, _but_ there was music
- could this be a conflict between SDL and GTK?
