Comment 1 darkpoet77 2007-07-16 06:52:46 UTC
At the time the repeated crashings started in application GIMMIE,
I was playing a game, and doing well with it. I was going to select something out of the menu, and each time I tried, the application would crash. This happened again and again until I finally gave up. I think it might be caused by the fact that I have a large amount of software installed on my system presently. Perhaps GIMMIE wasn't able to load every menu item. 

GIMMIE is a great alternative to the regular Gnome menu system(both beat the crap out of the main one for Winblows) but is still rather unstable. If we can somehow get it to work without crashing on my system, I'd be happy to continue using it.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade.
