Ok, I just checked with the CVS version. (I also noticed that the error
message I get after resetting the MiniIcon is a friendly "Segmentation
fault"). So I can confirm the crash on 2.5.26, 27 and 28CVS. Here's my
version info:
fvwm 2.5.28 (from cvs) compiled on Aug 18 2009 at 22:33:07 with
support for: ReadLine, Stroke, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi
text, Xinerama, XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS
I myself am baffled by this, since on my Gentoo box, no matter what I do
I can't crash it. Any suggestions?
