Firmata_Test window is blank

[candeira]

When I launch the Firmata Test program on my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, it connects to my Arduino Uno board, but doesn't show anything in the window.

This behaviour is the same in all versions of the program:

• firmata_test
• firmata_test.64bit
• firmata_test.64bit_2
• firmata_test.64bit_2_log

However, the following test and reproduction instructions are for firmata_test.64bit_2_log

Here's the output from launching the application in a terminal:

''' kandinski@desire:~/bin$ firmata_test.64bit_2_log

(firmata_test.64bit_2_log:9710): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type (null)' in cast toGtkRadioMenuItem'

(firmata_test.64bit_2_log:9710): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_radio_menu_item_get_group: assertion `GTK_IS_RADIO_MENU_ITEM (radio_menu_item)' failed '''

Reproducing the bug:

• Application window is empty on start
• Menu allows for arduino port selection (/dev/ttyACM0)
• Errors only show on console when Port menu drops down (and before the port is selected)
• Application window stays empty

• Log window shows the following:

  01:52:38 PM: OnShowPortList, File 01:52:38 PM: OnShowPortList, Port 01:52:49 PM: OnShowPortList, Port 01:52:55 PM: OnPort, id = 9001, name = /dev/ttyACM0 01:52:55 PM: port is open

Erm, maybe the wiki shouldn't say that "All Arduino Uno boards come with StandardFirmata 2.2 pre-loaded." They obvoiusly don't. I'm removing that line from the wiki.
