Re: Gtk-gnutella/Bittorrent crashes X

downloading shouldn't be related to X at all... try using "bittorrent-curses" in a terminal and see if it causes the same thing.
It probably won't, which implies it's not a download problem, but a drawing problem... random guess based on commonality is that it is somehow related to "progress bars" - if you're on an nvidia, try shutting RenderAccel off.

In /root/.bashrc add

if [ -f /tmp/user.xauth ]; then
    xauth merge /tmp/user.xauth
fi

and in ~/.bashrc add:

    umask 377
    /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth extract /tmp/user.xauth $DISPLAY
    umask 022

Be aware that running X apps as root can be a security risk (like any other apps running as root).  The only X app I run as root is emacs to edit system files.
