Well, difficult... but it seems (although I am not confident) that something 
wrong is happening
basically on:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-commander/-/blob/fed9ef1a44cd01b6c1dfb231795e07f5f067de57/src/gnome-cmd-file-list.cc#L1924

So (again although I am not confident) I am somehow thinking that
GtkCList here (i.e:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-commander/-/blob/fed9ef1a44cd01b6c1dfb231795e07f5f067de57/src/gnome-cmd-file-list.cc#L1920
) is not "correctly" created, i.e. it needs some kind of initialization or so.

But I am not familiar with manners to use GObject (basically how to define / 
initialize
GObject based objects)...
