Software Updater crashes X session

[Paul Barry]

I'm still having this problem.  Can anyone shed any light on this?
How about does anyone know who I can send the mysql bug to so we can
get the version of mysql in the ubuntu repository fixed?  When I have
time, I'm going to try uninstalling mysql 4.1.21 and re-installing the
ubuntu 4.1.15 mysql rpm and see if that gets rid of the software
updater crashing.
