Re: GWorkspace ApplicationTerminated issue

Hi Patrick

In the meanwhile I found an issue which was related to mount points and 
internal linux functions. It was fixed in gui NSWorkspace class, please 
update libs-gui and see if it helps you.
What could happen is that if the linux kernel for some reason (maybe 
even bug, unsure) lost track of /etc/mtab, checking it could lead to an 
crash (system function should return failure instead) a crash in 
GWorkspace could then cause a crash in your session.
Extra checking for it now, helped. Of course, this was too hard to 
reproduce, depending on the kernel status, but the fix is sound and can 
do no harm.

If you like to test and see....

I too tried after your suggestion to disable Desktop and found no 
issues, but of course, since sometimes it took me a fortnight to 
reproduce the issue, absence of aproblem is not a proof.
It could be worth investigating further.
