Crashes

How often does this happen?
It happens sometime. BUT whenever it comes first time, it happens all
the time.

After I delete the user folder. like for user 'ppl' I delete '/usr/ppl',

the folder, I can temporary avoid this crashing, but I lost my

I think this is a pango bug that has been fixed in the latest pango

Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2002-12-11 17:11:59 UTC

The stack trace matches the one in bug 95177, which was marked as a
duplicate of bug 94592.  Also, for what it's worth, that bug points to
the X input method, not pango (so don't be surprised if updating pango
doesn't fix this problem).
