[bt-devel] beta4 hangs on mouse over the module list

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

What you report here sounds really strange! Maybe it's even something with the 
graphic driver engine. 
Which graphic card does the system use?
Coukd you please disable Xinerama and restart X11  and then run BibleTime? 
Since I don"t know anybofy using Xinerama and BibleTime this might be the 
reason.

Joachim
