Sounds like you're talking out Linuxconf. Defintly a cool program to
work with. My question to you is this, did you upgrade or make a clean
install? Linuxconf uses gtk+-1.0.x so if you upgraded gtk+ to 1.1.x then
that's probably why. It also works at that command prompt using ncurses.
You might try downloading a newer version from the redhat ftp site, Im
using the newest version without a hitch.
