Hmm... That happens here with my own software :) Accessing wrong
bits of memory.

Gnome and KDE are both fine to show people around. I "use"
both E and GNOME, and find they work fine, and are quite stable. My main
problem with unstability arises from netscape or mozilla, who seems to
have a liking for pages of < 5 k, and will crash the whole thing (well,
they crash their own window, but since you can't change it with either
mouse or keyboard, they do crash everything!) with any web page > 20 k.
Great for mailing lists archives and the such.

It's not suppossed to be. It's still a very early release, but
it's well nice to look at and people are very surprised by it. It must
be said that up to now, I have been using fvwm2 and loved it. But as
someone said up in this thread, the WM should only be noticed when you
click the mouse button.
