Hi there, >> Some processes SEGV on me straight away (abiword, some screen savers, = and others which I haven't the foggiest idea what they are supposed to = do). The number of *.core files I got since I started on GNOME simply = amazes me. >> >> Methinks I am missing something very basic and fundamental here. I = just cannot begin to assume that anybody would even consider using GNOME = if it really were as buggy as that.

There was a recent bug in = AbiWord > on amd64 that I fixed which caused it to crash at startup. As far as = I > know AbiWord has since been working for people on amd64. I have since re-make-d abiword WITH_DEBUG=3Dyes and gotten the = following: ...

Having said that, I have, in the meantime, installed libotf and will see = whether that gets me anywhere. On another note, I would like somebody to put in the GNOME FAQ the hint = that removable media are supposed to get mounted on /media. Took me a couple of days to work that out. My /media = faithfully served as a mount point for digital cameras' images and as such the mountpoint on root carried = schg,sunlnk and the /media filesystem was mode 700 for root (underlying directory re-exported read-only via = nullfs :-) (There's a bug in msdosfs label handling which fried GEOM, but that's a = matter for another group ;-) Bernard
