Hi, I confirm. It definitively works for me just after setting the environmental variable (in ~/.bashrc) GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1. Before that, X was shutting down and going back to the gdm login after each Gem window creation. The environmental variable GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 must be "on" both in compile time and in run time.
thanks, i will add this to the FAQ. (btw, GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 at compile-time means nothing and is ignored; seems i was unclear about this)
one last thing for all the brave ubuntu testers: could you try to find out what get's posted when Gem crashes?
like: % export GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=0 % pd -stderr -lib Gem > gemcrash.log 2>&1 ..create a gemwindow (and crash X) ..send me the gemcrash.log
