There have been some crash reports where GitX is crashing in webkit but only on 
10.5 (as far as I know).

It appears to be related to the Gist It button. The button is using the 
<button> html element and has "-webkit-appearance: button;" set in it's CSS. 
Without these it works fine. Not sure if a version of webkit broke this or it 
has been broken all along. The change has been in my branch since I first 
released it in March 
(http://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/commit/b557d6b5c6e675216d340d20833f39d0096b7ccc).
 The same html code in Safari doesn't cause a crash.

Is anyone running on 10.5 and have the Gist It button enabled? If you do and 
it's working I'd like to know. If you have the button off don't turn it on 
until you copy the preferences out (~Library/Preferences/nl.frim.GitX.plist) 
and then you can put it back after you're done testing. Unfortunately the Gist 
It button is enabled by default, so anyone running the experimental GitX on 
10.5 for the first time should see this crash.

I have a binary where I put the old Gist It button back. So this 
http://brotherbard.com/gitx/GitX.zip should work on 10.5 now.
