i have a similiar problem with glint. when scanning for available files in X
at about the 75% scanned level the process freezes and i've been able
to capture this error message:
Exception in TKinter CallBack
Traceback (innermost last):

i have an intel mb using the 82430FX PCI chipset.
so this is a bug in the rh5.1 issue?
