btw. the original developer of the "gkrellm-newsticker" hasn't been active for
over 3 years and even responded to an email from me. it seems he isn't really
working on it any longer. just that you know.

[Comment 2 Martin Scherer 2005-08-11 10:38:50 UTC]

it segfaults @ line ~250 @ newsticker.c
but i dont have a clue why (and not the time to find out)

looks like bug 102695 to me
