unexplained repeated "Terminated" Crash after 5 min (Please help ..)

[Gal Aviel]

Hello All,

I am pretty desperate by now, thinking about using Tkinter
(at least it works out of the box ..).

I compiled wxPython 2.6.3.3 against GTK 1.2.10 and tried running WorkBench 
1.4.0 (Subversion GUI from pysvn.subversion.org). Also tried SPE (Stani's 
Python editor). I've tried both under MS-Windows and they worked 100%.

The symptom : The apps seem to run (mostly) OK, but after a few minutes, 
they crash with a msg "Terminated" on my xterm.

Versions : Linux intel machine RedHat WS 3, and the following software 
compiled from source using gcc 3.2.3 : Python - 2.4.3, wxGTK - 2.6.3.3, 
glib - 1.2.10, gtk+ - 1.2.10, subversion-1.3.2. I didn't use GTK2 
because it was too slow.

I tried finding out where the "Terminated" error msg is coming from , 
so I grepped the source trees of the above packages, and found :
glib-1.2.10/gstrfuncs.c:    case SIGTERM: return "Terminated";

Any ideas ?

I must say, I was very excited about wxPython, but now it seems that I can't
make it work. I tried GTK2 which I think didn't have this problem, but 
was too slow. That's all the options I am aware of for wxPython on unix.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on getting a wxPython running on Linux.

thanks - gal.
