Your problem isn't enlightenment (as I'm betting it is not enlightenment itself crashing, but rather your X server). The problem with gkrellm is that gkrellm has a memory leak (I have observed this in the past when leaving it running for several days). The problem with mtv is likely one of linux emulation (since it is a linux app). If you want to fix the problem with gkrellm, I'd suggest turning on debuging in it or something and tracing down what exactly is leaking memory, and/or contacting the author of said program and reporting your results to him and see how he responds. The problem with mtv isn't as easy to solve. It could be a bug in the linuxlator, a bug in one of the linux shared libraries, or a bug in mtv itself. None of these problems is easily solved. The best suggestion with regards to it is, find out exactly what you did to crash X with mtv, and don't do it. Jeremy On Sun, Feb 04, 2001 at 10:45:25AM -0500, Matthew J .
