Resulting, of course, in gnome being restarted. Actually, this may happen with other applications as well. Meaning that such applications (like netscape, clockmail_applet and others) may also crash independently. Is this gnome related?? Now that you've said, I think maybe not...

	Cheers, Andre.

PS: Thanx for the help anyway...
PS: I do have gnome-libs-1.2.4 installed since the begining.

Initially it was robust enough, but recently, after upgrading some things (which I don't exactly recall now), gnome started crashing. It's really bad to loose some work and have to recover every couple of hours and sometimes even minutes. That's how long crashes are taking nowadays over here:-(
