I found 0.71 pretty buggy myself. It only ever shut down about half of the time. The other times it would close the buddy list, but then the login screen would appear (but blank) and all things gnome stopped responding. I could still ctrl-alt-bkspace and log in again, and things were fine, so it seems that it could have been an issue with the window manager or some drawing lib (since restarting the window manager seemed to clear up the immediate problem).
0.72 seems to be working fine so far. -Brent On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 15:23, Ross Werner wrote: > On Sat, 8 Nov 2003, Michael Torrie wrote: > > > You probably have some serious issues with your computer or your distro > > and this is just a symptom.
