Wow, what a lot of good bug-reporters we are. (Yes, I did another :) 
And I boggled at the number of people who all seemed to have discovered
the same bug on the same day :)) 

I have the same behaviour as Andrew: I can't crash it by quitting,
but I can with Properties -- but only after I've altered some. I
altered the "MDI" settings in attempts to find out what they do,
got some extra windows popping up, killed the extra ones and tried 
to return to the original "notepad" choice in that. Bang.

>From the gdb results (which I can _not_ interpret, but luckily, I
know someone who can), it seems nothing to do with pixmaps for me,
but something to do with trying to close windows that I have already
killed. Which is reasonable, given that I've killed windows every
time I've done this.

I don't run gtk themes, or at least I don't think I do: I use windowmaker 
and the themes from that. (Which I assume are not gtk-related.) I 
also don't get core files. 

One day I shall contribute a fix as well as a bug report. Honest.
Um. Well. I can live in hope.
