Would it be safer to do such stuff in "init"? It is a static variable, 
but from what I understand, there should be no problem moving the code 
to init, right?

Furthermore as you say, the value is not directly used, I will try some 
cleanup.

Anyway, I use gworkspace with the Cairo, Art and Xlib backend and don't 
have such problems, thus I wonder why Edwin has!

What GS base/gui/back versions are you using? Latest stable? svn? older? 
a mix?
