[Github-comments] [geany/geany] macos sierra: geany 1.31 does not start (#1555)

[kartoffelsalat]

version 1.30.1 works fine.

```
$> /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany

(geany-bin:3789): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'VteTerminal'

(geany-bin:3789): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed

(geany-bin:3789): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
```
and nothing more happens, no more errors but also no GUI ...

Without plugins, i.e.,
```
 /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany -p
```
works, it opens up directly, but (surprise ;) ) without the plugins.

Renaming the plugins folder did work. Now I get a working geany 1.31. Not sure how much preferences I've made, but I guess it will be fine and I can re-adjust my preferences ...

Feel free to close this bug if you don't want to find the root cause of this issue. I reckon it would be better to show an appropriate error message like `setting/plugin blabla is deprecated and disabled, you have to use blabla` instead of just not opening but I understand that it might be not so easy to find out what was actually going wrong.

Thanks!
