Ok, --enable-gtk2 doesn't help and gretl still crashes. The good thing
is that once a dataset is opened before MIDAS is called via the menu,
gretl does NOT crash.

 Thanks for the info, Artur. It seems that in current Ubuntu they've
 extended the "steal the menus and re-wrap them" idea from their
 Mac-style interface to the "classical" one. I'm wondering if there's
any
 way to protect gretl against that treatment. If you're compiling gretl
 yourself, I suspect you _might_ be able to protect it by building
 against gtk2 instead of gtk3: that would mean adding the configure flag
 
 --enable-gtk2
 
 But I'm not sure if that would do the job. (It would require that you
 have the gtk2 "dev" packages installed.) There's nothing in the gretl
 GUI that requires gtk3 over gtk2, and personally I prefer the latter.
