Re: SEGFAULT when starting applications

[Fred Kiefer]

I am faced with the same problem as Gregory and it did not go away with
some rebuilding of GNUstep. My impression is rather that Adam did only
commit half of the changes he made last night. So now the grsphic
context wont get created in the backend itself, which is a good change,
but this creation has not been added to the gui, so there is no graphic
context at all. Which make it a bit hard for GNUstep to do any window
operations.

Cheers
Fred

PS: There was also an unaccounted change to XGContextEvent where
NSBackspaceKey instead of NSBackspaceCharacter was used. Any idea who
did that?
