Bug in gxset in a terminal

[Philippe Neyrat <philippe neyrat tele2 fr>]

Hello,

First, I'm french, so my english could be approximative...

I found an error when executing gxset in a root terminal :
gnome 2.14.3 on a IBook G4 under Debian ppc (kernel 2.6.18-4-powerpc)
It is said :
segmentation fault.
This error is reproductible. GXset opens a window where I can change the 
settings, and when I hit "Apply" or "Cancel" (generally when it 
finishes), the error happens.
Here is what I found using "gdb gxset" and "run", as said in your site :

Let me know if I made an error in mailing to this list, or if it has 
been better feeding a form (I haven't found any...) or if you want more 
informations. I haven't found any similar bug in your site.
I use this for the first time, and don't really know what to do...
I hope this could help you to fix this bug anyway.

Sorry for my english, and thanks for your work.

Philippe.
