In "Info-gnustep.plist", I got this :

When I rename "Info-gnustep.plist" to "Info-gnustep.plist.back", I get these 
messages :

And then the app nether shows up, like it happens to the print panel  within 
Ink.

Well, no more exception thrown, but no app at all.

this could be related to your printing

I have already gdb installed, but I could not install the *.dbg neither 
*.dbgsym because there seem not available within Ubuntu :
This is the list of available packages which begin with "libgnustep-" :
libgnustep-base1.25  libgnustep-dl2-0d    libgnustep-gui0.26
libgnustep-base-dev  libgnustep-dl2-dev   libgnustep-gui-dev

So these steps are not avaible until now in my context.
