Can you run it in gdb and see where it crashes?
I suspect it is still a gconf problem.

I don't remember that. I don't think there are races with GM, but I
think that your Gnome installation and your setup are completely broken,
or at least very weird.

I do not see, and do not understand why adding a sleep (2) in
gnomemeeting.cpp could change in main_window.cpp, that makes no sense to
me, and believe me, I'm adding code everywhere since a long time without
the need to put things like a sleep (2) here and there. Sorry, there are
no "bad fixes" like that in GnomeMeeting.

Moreover, why didn't you contribute your code?
