I am not familiar with the maintenance organisation of imlib so this message is posted to the major Linux bleeding-edge distros (I checked RedHat RawHide1.0 imlib-1.9.13-3.7 source). I couldn´t query the Bugs DB, so I apologize if it is already known (it is, it is fixed in 1.9.14, and probably all SuSe releases). I include a simple fix, not a patch since version 1.9.14 (ximian release) has a complete cleanup of the helper process support and recognized the problem. (It is a silent fix (i.e. no ChangeLog entry) since it exposes big mouthing by the author/maintainer about this is 2002... ;-) (Bugzilla hates me, not able to check bug#'s.) I'm currently building imlib 1.9.14.. Thanks for screaming, I didn't saw the imlib 1.9.14 release :(( -- Frédéric Crozat MandrakeSoft

In fact, 1.9.14 seems to be fresh as 1.9.14.ximian appeared on http://rpm.pbone.net about the same day 1.9.13-1mdk(Cooker) appeared on http://rpmfind.net !! (I'll be buying 8.2 for work next month...if I can get my hands on a copy here in Belgium.) Salut, Guy
