Comment 57 for bug 185311

(sorry for my English)
I use Kubuntu 8.04 (32-bit, DVD) and the problem is NDN (filemanager) crashes on startup.

NDN (Necromancer's Dos Navigator) is a freeware filemanager like Midnight Commander and Norton Commander.

Can anyone suggest what I should do? I'm still a newbie in Linux so I need detailed instructions. I appreciate any your help.
I guess I should:
1. Revert to the previous version of XCB and X11 which should work and use it till the bug is fixed. What should I revert?
2. Run some commands in console which will repair the bug for me. What commands?
3. I'd like to get the fixed version as soon as it's available. Where I should expect it? (I know how to compile source code and apply patches if necessary)

NDN crashes at startup when I run it konsole or xterm.
