+   * ~August, 2010 and earlier.  Various reports indicate that crossfire-client-gtk2 themes (colored text/spell window) no longer worked on some distributions when the client is launched from a user account.  Workarounds were found.  All of them essentially launch the client like this:  '''GTK_MODULES=""; crossfire-client-gtk2'''.  In at least one instance of non-working themes, GTK_MODULES was set to '''canberra-gtk-module''', but the settings for all reports is unknown.  It appears some theme engines are not compatible with crossfire-client-gtk2 theme code.  It is not yet known whether there is a way to alter the client so that its themes work properly without regard to the system GTK theme engine setting.
    * ~July, 2010.  The GTK-V2 client with account-based login support has a bug in a character create button that makes it impossible to set up a character.  It is thought this bug is in 1.50.  Current SVN is fixed.  The fix is an update to dialogs.glade, and does not require re-compile.
    * ~July, 2010.  Various reports of broken chat/say/tell/shout with trunk servers are reported:
      * Meflin reports 1.11 clients on trunk server: chat/say does not work.  It is not known if this is widely experienced or not.  Fedora is still on 1.11 (and is what was in use regarding this report).
      * Invidious user report via Meflin is for Debian Stable 5.0.4 and current GTK V2 Unix Client 1.50.0.dev-r13535M (using gtk-v2.glade) chat.  Say and shout do work.
