Thanks Sebastian! :)
Just for the record: the problem I'm currently experiencing and which
might or might not be fixed with the current version is quite certainly
a timeout issue: after periods of high load (such as when building a
large package, e.g. gtk), some apps have IPC problems. For example,
when I try opening Galeon windows, it complains it has crashed (which
isn't true), when trying to open GNOME configuration applets, they
complain that gnome-settings-daemon can't be reached, and I have
trouble login out. I've had this problem since months if not years.
The new upstream release changes many blocking calls to add timeouts
where possible, and this might help with my problem, but perhaps not.
