I tried to work with mlview for several hours and it is really in a bad
shape. I (as a Debian user) suggest that you should remove this package
from testing or downgrade it to 0.8.0 which is in a much better shape.
0.8.0 was the last stable release.

Reasons:
- the tree view editor segfaults and assertions fail, which causes data
loss!
see also bug #500619 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500619
- 0.9.0 is a development version: see
http://www.freespiders.org/projects/gmlview/
- sometimes saving does not work (no bug filed yet)
- there are a lot of small bugs and quirks
- upstream is dead (no commits since 3 years except for translations):
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/mlview/
- Better alternatives are available:
http://xml-copy-editor.sourceforge.net/ (not packaged yet)

Cheers,
Simon
