retitle 317283 libgal 2.4.2 crashes evolution when using libgnomecanvas 2.10
reassign 317283 libgal2.4 2.4.2-1
notfound 317283 2.4.3-1
thanks

Ok, sorry for all the noise.  I finally found the root of the problem.

libgal2.4 version 2.4.2-1 (etch's) is buggy.
But libgnomecanvas2-0 version 2.8.0-1 (sarge's) did not use libgal2.4,
that's why the bug disappeared when downgrading.

Also, if you have libgnomecanvas2-0 version 2.10 (etch and sid's), 
and libgal2.4 version 2.4.3-1 (sid's), it works fine.

So, the work-arounds for this bug are:
* downgrade libgnomecanvas2-0 to sarge's version (2.8.0-1)
* upgrade libgal2.4 to sid's version (2.4.3-1).

Once libgal2.4 2.4.3-1 has entered etch, you can have an up-to-date etch
without this bug.

Cheers.
