I'm running the latest gnome* on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE (built from source out of ports), and periodically all my applets in the gnome panel like to short out with a SIGABRT (signal 6) when gnome starts up. I'm using sawfish-0.34 as window manager, but the problem also happens under afterstep. It seems to be a panel-related problem, but it doesn't seem to occur on my friends' Linux boxes. Admittedly, I have not recompiled with debugging symbols, but I wanted to know if anyone else had run into this problem, and if they found a way to workaround or fix it. The best thing I've found so far (and I'm sure this is a 100% successful workaround) is to disable event sounds. Thanks.
