This is a big problem for me as > I don't want to mess with text file config. > i've seen this happen, too. there's no way of explaining this other than 'it segfaults'. my problem used to happen by simply adding a new ISA card to my system. it just plain crashes. i don't think there's much of a fix to it, just try deleting your temp files, ( /tmp, /usr/tmp, ~/tmp and so on ) and also since the system was recently installed, there won't be much loss if you delete /var also. see if that helps. other than that, there is reinstalling all drak* tools.... maybe someone that actually knows how these programs work can tell you more ( maybe there's actually a fix which i didn't know about ) but whenever i get those segfaults, i'm simply forced to undo what made them stop working.
