I was running the most stable possible. Remember that amd64 doesn't have
a stable candidate. Out of desparation (not just about xmgrace) I have switched
distributions to Fedora Core. It has exactly the same problem. There is a
thread on their development site that may pertain. I'll forward the original
posting. It is interesting that this problem is present in fedora core 5 but
not in fedora core 4. This is even true if one builds from sources!
The same symptoms exists for ddd.
