Now when I think about it, having TERM set to "linux" within my X session is
incorrect.  This happens because I start the session by invoking startx at
the Linux console.

If I start X session from a display manager, for example lightdm, TERM is
not set to anything, and gtypist correctly exits with an error:

  "Error opening terminal: unknown."

Perhaps this explains why you could not reproduce the issue?

But, like you wrote, you could handle errors from get_widech anyway.

Thanks,
