Same here (x86): grandr used to crash, but the patch fixes the problem.
Honestly, it looks like grandr is dead. I think it was just a test app until other utilities caught up. I think I'll treeclean grandr if it really is unusable. If there's still interest in it, please get the patches applied by upstream with a new release. Until then, it'll stay as-is until I either p.mask it or bump it to a new release. Thanks
I must agree here. To add more: recent enought GNOME already has it builtin, so most probably that's the reason why it's not maintained anymore (grandr).
