No, but some other applications (such as gedit) do, indeed. Some others
seem to work fairly well.
 
After doing 'strace panel', I found some lines saying :
    
   access(ptrace: umoven: I/O error
   (...)
   open(ptrace: umoven: I/O error

Any idea?

BTW, I wasn't expecting any answer at all. I observed the postings for a
while, and had the impression (I hope I am wrong) that the "dumb"
questions of this kind were kindly ignored by those who have succeeded :)
