Thanks for the report. This bug really belongs to gnome-libs and/or imlib, as best I can tell without a backtrace. My im_palette.pal is in /etc/im/im_palette.pal, not /etc/im_palette.pal. I don't know why yours is looking for it in the wrong place - as a workaround you might try a symlink. But it's a bug anyway. The problem is that gdk_imlib_init() fails in this case. gnome-libs calls gdk_imlib_init(). But imlib has no way of reporting that the init failed. So gnome-libs continues like nothing happened and sooner or later crashes. At least, that is my guess. As a fix, I would recommend that imlib provide error checking so Gnome can bail gracefully. (or if imlib does provide checking that I don't see offhand, that Gnome use it.) Thanks, Havoc
