(mgp-users 00376) Re: mgp-1.07a is crashing X

["Dean S. Messing" <deanm@sharplabs.com>]

Thanks,  Jim, for the reply.
So it's a window manager issue and not a server issue?

I'm running KDE 1.1.2.  I wonder if the bug is in the WM or in MagicPoint?
If the former, I will submit a bug report to KDE.  If the latter then
I suppose this discussion on the list constitutes a bug report here.
What is the verdict?
