Some crashes were in fact fixed here.  I think in fact the crypt/shadow
auth was broken in .0, is this what gentoo uses?  (If so, someone should poke
them to upgrade to PAM, because for all it's flaws, PAM is better then
nothing :)

I actually didn't yet announce the .1 tarball I just made it to get into the
beta 1 gnome release.  There will be a new tarball soon anyhow with changable
gtk themes.
