What were you doing when the application crashed?
Starting yelp.

Yelp comes up, displays an index and then crashes.

When run from a command line,  the culprit is exposed:
                                           ...
(yelp:24757): Yelp-WARNING **: Could not locate section n for tcldot.n

Comment 2 Joseph Sacco 2006-11-21 00:01:38 UTC

F.Y.I...

Enabling Assistive Technology Support, stopping and restarting the desktop, makes the problem go away.

Looks like collateral damage from some other package.

Don,

Retreating from at-spi-1.7.13 to version at-spi-1.7.12 makes the problems "go away".
