This is odd. I used a lot of extra effort to make FBReader activity play well with rainbow. Which version are you using ? (I just verified that version 4 works with a rainbow enabled 8.2.0 build, and http://mergy.org/2009/06/05/getting-a-sugarized-fbreader-to-run-on-olpc/ seems to suggest the same thing as well) > I know that this activity has sense on sugar 0.82.

There has been crashes in 0.86 and above due to problems in webkitgtk (I have already submitted patches upstream), but 0.84 should be very stable.
