NVU isn't maintained anymore and there is a Bug (similar like that: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2339056&group_id=170132&atid=853122) which causes crashes with >=gtk-2.14. The succesor is Kompozer (Bug 146761), and since it isn't possible to run nvu on newer systems (just look at the whole nvu bugs) it should really be removed. Reproducible: Always
Here is a post of the nvu-developer Daniel Glazman (17 October 2007): http://www.glazman.org/weblog/dotclear/index.php?post/2007/10/17/Nvu-Kompozer-Composer > * yes, I know that Nvu was impossible to download from nvu.com. I pinged Linspire and they updated the page. > Everything should be ok now. > * no, I have no more relationship with Linspire about Nvu. > * yes, the name Nvu and its logo are protected. > * no, I'm not helping on Kompozer and yes, I dropped Nvu entirely. > * no, Composer is not dead at all, it's only evolving slowly because I'm working on it on my spare time. > * no, I don't think Kompozer is going to live a long time. Kompozer is only a chrome bug-fix of Nvu and it's still based on the Mozilla 1.7 codebase. It's obsolete. Compared to Composer, Nvu and Kompozer will look like dinosaurs > * yes, Composer will be MPL. > * yes, Composer's code is only minimally based on Nvu's. > * no, Composer is only a code name. The final name is not chosen yet. But there was never any release of Composer, it seems that Daniel Glazman renamed it to BlueGriffon (which is far away from beeing released).

I agree, will be processed on next treecleaner run unless someone really opposes but I don't see much use.
