Hi Rajiv.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you, but thought you might like to know 
your mails are actually hitting the list.  Here are some questions to 
kickstart things.

This problem is not specific to any one program is it?  If you open OO 
first, then FF, Evo, and Gnucash does Gnucash blank out and crash?  Is 
it always the last opened apps which blank out and crash?

Do you have Desktop Effects enabled?

Thanks!
