Yes, plain redhat that is up-to-date.  I don't know which of
my applications use gtk, but I have had some weirdnesses on my
system.  The clock applet on the panel crashes daily on both
gnome and KDE, and both window managers occasional "reset", where
the screen momentarily goes blank and then all open windows are
redrawn on the screen (even those that were iconified).  I don't
suspect a bug in gnubg as much as I suspect that it doesn't
handle an "invalid request code" nicely.

The one thing I do that is out of the norm is I have two virtual
terminals that I can switch between using alt-ctrl-F8 and
alt-ctrl-f9.  I'm fairly certain that that is causing the clock
applet crashes.

Is there any debug output I can request from gnubg that can help
diagnose this problem?

Thanks,
