Comment 6 for bug 210456

I am having the same problem with GImageView 0.2.27 (current version) using Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) with my computer (which is Intel 32-bit, not AMD 64-bit). Either selecting Edit/Options or clicking on the 'Preference' button next to 'File Open' on the toolbar causes instant application crash. Is this being worked on? Or is there a reason not to use the proposed fix (above)? Or should I just avoid using this application?
