i think i see - the bt it telling me the desktop orig path is not valid. that dialog didnt handle desktop updates, so it can be that the desktop file pointer in ram is now invalid. fixed that in svn now - try again and let me know. fyi. gdb bt was a REALLY USEFUL thing to do. it helps us fix bugs. without it its basically pointless to try most of the time (for segv's and crashes). so if you have issues - please have the patience to make sure u have a debug build of e + efl and get us backtraces. it is the first step to getting things resolved. :) > Hi all, > > I've been having trouble with E17 crashing on me when I try to > change applications -- default, startup, IBar, etc. Previously, this > would cause E to segfault, and I'd have to restart.
