It took you guys 5 months to respond to this bug to ask me how to reproduce it? even though i specifically asked
Could someone tell me what information to supply // how to supply it for when I return to my apartment? It would have been a lot more relevant to ask for more information 5 months ago. boot the computer log in system->preferences->screen saver Rapidly choose different screen savers This crashed Gnome every time on my core2quad & NVidea system those are the exact steps. I gave them to you in my first bug report. obviously my expectation was that all my programs not die and for me to not be returned to the login screen. If you know of someone who would disagree with me, I would greatly like to learn their perspective. I have supplied what you asked for, all three of the minimum pieces. If this is a bug that others don't encounter, than perhaps my hardware is fucked. Perhaps it was simply an artefact of my install disk being scratched. I dont know. I've subsequently disabled the screensaver, and have reinstalled many dozen times.
