[Bug 302695] Re: Segmentation fault when running revelation without root privileges

[Deapesh]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: revelation
  
  On Ubuntu 8.04.1, attempting to run revelation 0.4.11 without root
  privileges (either via command prompt or by clicking on the menu) and
  then clicking on the 'open' option in its menu bar, results in a
  segmentation fault.
  
  Running it via sudo on the command prompt does not result in the crash.
