Usually, I use the keyboard accel "EE" for this. So I wouldn't notice :-)
With wine a double click also fails to open the attribute dialog. There is
a message in stdout for each trial:
fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__wsopen_s : pmode 0x01b6 ignored

There is no context menu in the linux version of gschem, either.

This path is not given in the user config. I guess, it is supposed to
contain symbols that are not part of the distribution. However, the path
is on the local machine, but not in the home area of the user. On linux it
defaults to /usr/local/share/gEDA/sym/local/
This path gets blanked with a reset statement in gschemrc, which is needed
to get rid of the default libraries. The actual path differs between
installs on different OS. So resurrecting it after the reset is not a good
option. For this reason I strongly prefer to put local symbols in the home
area of the user. If required, the path can still be a Softlink to
somewhere else.

The warning was triggered by this line in gschemrc:
(paper-size 11.69 8.27)
The line can be removed safely.
It is a residue from configs for older versions of gechem. We will remove
it in the next version of the installer.

More residue. Will also be removed from the config files.
Today, I discovered some more glitches of the crosscompiled binaries:
a) Print of schematics yields some texts two base line skips below their
correct position. This happens to refdes, value, pin labels and
independent text. However, pin numbers, slots, footprints and generally
all non standard attributes print exactly at the expected position.
b) "gaf export" fails with error:
export: invalid option -- e
c) On a windows 7 install, it was not possible to save system-gschemrc due
to "other processes", even though no geda utility was running. we even
tried to kill all processes to no avail.
