No, no it crashes all right even with latest gnome-core.
(well, not frequently, just did it once for me earlier in the morning)
I'm using  gnome-core-1.2.3-0_helix_1,
gnome-applets-1.2.3-0_helix_1
under RH7.0

By the way why is deskguide SO inefficient when it renders window
content ?  On my machine, in default configuration,
it eats more CPU than window (sawfish) manager and
almost as much (2/3 of) CPU as X server itself. This is almost laughable.
In comparison, pager which comes with enlightment (even spiffier
than deskguide) seems to be much less CPU hungry.
