2011-02-09 Thread Martin Langhoff
If a newcomer to Sugar follows the instructions at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Running_Linux_Applications_Under_Sugar to use Albert Calahan's libsugarize.so from a precompiled binary, lots of funny things happen. X.org crashes with BadWindow at apparently random times -- some of the crashes can
