[Bf-committers] RE: OOPS-Outliner crash

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Uuuuhh....SORRY for the wrong alert previously!

 The problem is not blender (or not fully...) : The key sequence is
 bind to "Minimize windows" on my Window Manager (the crash from
 inside gdb remains, though...). This simulates a crash nearly
 perfectly, when not awaited.... ;)

 But this brings up another problem:
 As long as Blender does not support to remap Key Bindings in some way
 (user prefs, config file or something similiar), one is urged to
 install and to get used to another window manager, if this window
 manager does also not support key remapping (as blender...) only for
 being able to use blender and its hotkeys....(the view menu does not
 show any apprpiate entry and many hotkeys does not have any menu
 entry at all...)

 Furthermore "hotkey clashes" with other programs are possible, if the
 user is no longer able to rearrange hotkeys in a way, that no
 overlapping occurs.

 And this scenario becomes more and more evident, the more
 functionality -- and therefore hotkeys -- are added to blender, which
 itself is in turn a very nice thing! ;)

 Keep hacking!
