After terrific help at the Installfest, there that is something that
shows up in more than one place. I first noticed it using
Evolution (email client). It dies after one or a few requests (menu
or icon clicks).
Usually on the first, but sometimes after 3 or 4. Thinking it was
Evolution, I went
from the Mandrake include (1.0.5) to the latested on ximian's site
(1.0.8). Same
problem. Then, I noticed that the Gnome configuration tool
sometimes acts the
same way. So, I'm thinking it's a deeper problem than Evolution.
Any suggestions? Perhaps I should do a clean install from scratch
(after using
BRU to capture my various creations.

was just Evolution acting funny):
