Bug Description

When I run it via the Gnome menu, a window appears for a split second and disappears. Running it via the terminal app in gnome I get:

ori@bigbox:~$ giFToxic
Segmentation fault
ori@bigbox:~$

I installed it via apt-get. Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger", kernel 2.6.12-10-386. Feel free to contact me for more info.

The segfault happens without the --server option, i.e. simply launching
"giftoxic" produces a segfault.
