2007-04-20 Thread Scott Severance
Public bug reported: When choosing an icon theme in gnome-theme-manager, cursor themes are displayed in the list. Clicking one causes gnome-theme-manager to segfault and brings down the GNOME session (sometimes leaving only the wallpaper visible). I know that gnome-panel and nautilus both crash,
