Description:
I just wanted to take a look at the mandelbrot fractal, but xaos only shows me the following output when I try to start it

[1] 397 segmentation fault (core dumped) xaos

For a very short moment the program window seems to pop up, but then it crashes.

I tried fixing the problem with rebuilding xaos, but that didn't help.

I cannot see if this is already reported upstream, I don't have permission to see the bug reports...

Additional info:
* package version(s)

I use the up to date version from the repos, 3.5-3

* config and/or log files etc.

In case that helps, I could attach the core file created because of the segfault. Or is this a bad idea in general? (I don't know what this file contains exactly)

Steps to reproduce:

Install xaos from [extra] and try to start it
This task depends upon

I'm not sure what might be the problem. It works fine here. I don't get any of this "Warning - too long text at line" output.

Try posting on the xaos google group: http://groups.google.com/group/xaos-users
Maybe they'll know what's the problem.

Ok thanks, I'll do that.

Just tried running xaos and I don't get the error either.

Ok, xaos works now, don't ask me why... It must depend on the update of a dependency, that's the only idea I have about this. I didn't change anything on my system except of doing the usual updates.
