Panel crash on SGI... and ORBit questions

[Maximilien Lincourt <max toonboom com>]

On SGI running plain Irix 6.5 and everything compiled with 
egcs ... using very recent CVS update of gtk, glib, imlib,
gnome-libs/core...




panel crashing at startup ... I assume it must be something that
I don't understand, panel  used to start, and crashed much more
latest ... ( when adding applets ) 

I'm still using dbx to trace the application does gdb work
better when using egcs ?

Also, I'd like to be able to trace the problem more deeply if
possible. I know that giop-msg-buffer.c is from the ORBit
package, are there any self test that I can do to see if ORBit
is working normally ? how do I use the tests in the test 
directory ?
When running the echo-client, I have to give some kind of ID :
%echo-server&
%echo-client
Need a binding ID thing as argv[1]
%
what's this ID thing ???

 Thanks for any insights !
