Description Allan Engelhardt 2008-05-29 08:00:07 UTC
Version: 2.22.1

What were you doing when the application crashed?
crashed while killing a(nother) memory-consuming task

Xournal was eating up memory, so I tried to start System Monitor.  The system was very slow.  I killed Xournal (clicking the 'x' and confirming the "Force Quit" prompt).  System Monitor still hadn't started.  As soon as Xournal died, I got this crash dialog from System Monitor.

upstream system-monitor doesn't use polkit.
