tuxpaint crashes on startup?

["Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak" <mjc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually have to start tuxpaint 3-4 times before it successfully 
launches. The other times, it crashes on the splash screen, just before 
the "theme music" plays.

Has anyone else seen/fixed this? I launch it from a gnome desktop icon, 
which runs:

tuxpaint --fullscreen --noprint

I'm using the extras rpm. Any help appreciated!
