Hi, I recently installed fedora core 1, and have been having a lot of
problems with what seems like somewhat random crashes of gnome based
applications.
This includes epiphany, abiword, evolution, and (the most suicidal of
them all) nautilus.
I had gentoo installed before on the same computer (a P4 dell inspiron
8200), and while I never experienced any of the above applications as
rock stable, I'm quite sure they didn't crash this often.
Is it a possibility that the crashes have something to do with any of
the gnome libraries included in fedora?
Btw, one of the bugs I'm experiencing can actually be reproduced some of
the time. It happens (sometimes) when I save a image in gimp while
having the folder with the image open in nautilus.
I will put this in the bugzilla if it's not a dupe, just wondering if
anyone have had similar problems first.
With regards,

You might try running an application under strace and see what it's doing
when it crashes. See bugzilla for an example:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109537
There's a possibility that it's a fontconfig problem, as described in
this bug. It affects more than just Mozilla and Epiphany.
Hope this helps - Bob Arendt
