libgif-dev is a dependency? The window is empty.

[seyfer]

I got an error on build

In file included from ../src/CanvasPattern.cc:9:0:
../src/Image.h:19:21: fatal error: gif_lib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Then I did sudo aptitude install libgif-dev

And it started. But I see icons in the tray and in the dash, but there is no interface. The window is empty.

I have Ubuntu Gnome 16.04

Thanks for reporting this, I've added this dependency to the readme. I installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.3 into a VM and wasn't able to get the empty window. I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about though because it happens sometimes on my laptop, but I haven't figured out how to reproduce it consistently. If you right click the tray icon and hit "Reload/Refresh" it should fix it though.
