Every other gnome-app I tried to does the same and crashed also: like the ctrl+L adress bar in nautilus, for example.

My PC is a notebook, Fujitsu Siemens Amillo M3438 with an nvidia 6600
graphics card 512MB ram 80gig HD and an Intel 1,8Ghz processor. Running
Dapper Drake that except this bug very very stable is! I love this
distro, all you guys rock! Thanks for all your effort!
