@Seth, your right, there was something different on my system. I uninstalled version 2.5.3 and installed 2.4.13, and still could not reproduce the bug, and then I got to thinking, I was using xjigmanager, not the shell.
I tried from the shell, and yes, a crash every time. I can't think why it doesn't crash from the xjigmanager. Anyway, I'm going back to 2.5 now. les@les-Inspiron-N5010:~$ dpkg --status xjig Package: xjig Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: games Installed-Size: 276 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.4-13 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libjpeg62, libnetpbm10, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libx11-6, libxext6 Description: An X11 jigsaw puzzle xjig is a puzzle that tries to replicate a jigsaw puzzle on the screen as closely as possible. Any GIF, JPEG or PPM image may be loaded and cut into pieces. The goal (as with any jigsaw puzzle) is to reassemble the original picture. . Tiles may be freely rotated by use of the mouse, flipped (for double-sided puzzles) and even shown as shaped windows on the desktop (fast machine/video card recommended for the latter!). An example image is provided in /usr/share/games/xjig .
