Fixed.

Changed the initialization order to make sure that the CORBA interface never crashes on NULL pointers...

So it's just http://workrave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/workrave/workrave/trunk/frontend/gtkmm/src/GUI.cc?r1=1144&r2=1161&view=patch ?

If so, I'd patch that in Ubuntu until the next workrave release gets out.

Correct. That small patch should fix the crash.

Thanks.
