Send in bug reports. If you can no longer startx, do rm -rf ~/.gnome and
startx again.

I do know the frustration, I'm averaging a horrific number of core-dumps
per hour and simply have no idea where the last one appeared from, so-

I know the feeling :((

Hopefully the developers are coding to get stability in and *then* new
functionality.

I'm going to install the recently-released Enlightenment 0.15.5 tonight
to see how many core-dumps/hour I go down to...
