This happens to me on 64-bit too. When I do regular genius (not gnome- genius) I do not have this problem when I type help. I ran gnome-genius from my console and here is the backtrace:

All new users to a program (should) type help or the equiv of. A program that crashes when displaying its help will not make people confident in using it. -- [apport] gnome-genius crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
