[mico-devel] Mico apps crashing - problem seems to be X11

[Karel Gardas]

Mark,

it would great if you experience any crashes to obtain a backtrace for
us. Also the way how did you configured MICO and what exactly platform
(OS + C++ compiler name and version) do you use might also be important.

Anyway, I always recommend to try to duplicate any bug in obsolete
releases with the last release. Perhaps it's already solved?

Thanks,
Karel
