Oops... *never* run wdialog before MiNT, you're also asking for trouble
if you run it before N.AES. The only "safe" place to start it from is
either n_aes.cnf or the desktop (or Taskbar).

2.37 is fine (I use it all the time), but if you have an earlier version
you might get into trouble. I can't remember which version I had all those
problems with (Petr?), but 2.37 is very stable.

Never heard of it, where can I find it? Try without it, anything that steal
vectors can do a lot of damage.

Hmm... What do you use the RSVF-cookie for? It's definitely not needed for
"normal" use.

It doesn't matter with wdialog anyway, because wdialog can't be killed.

Look forward to the next Thing-release, the current betas has a memory
priviligation-catcher which displays a nice dialog with useful info in
these cases :-)
