3 things:

1) client freeze: Try to deisable sound. When soundserver hangs, the pipe with 
client start filling and in the end the client is waiting for pipe to empty. 
Should fix it in the more or less near future

2) map area location: Put everything you want at the place you want it. Then 
go to thce client menu, there is somewhere something named 'save windows 
position'. Activate it, quit, rerun client. Things should be magically at the 
good place (thanks gtk, nothing to do with client implementation i think :) 

3) gdb: To get help with you gdb, when you gdb does give you a prompt (after 
the kill), type 'bt' this will do a backtrace. This is far more usefull thant 
the C function in which kill was invoked (please not as this is wrtie this 
may be a write to the pipe to soundserv :) ) The output of client in console 
may be usefull too (messages from soundserver are send there)

4) Have a nice day!

Hello,

I think this is a bug, and maybe this crashes my linux gcfclient so often.
When my Character (Thagore) get hit by an arrow he automatically picks the
 arrow up (I have disabled automatic pickup in the Options).

As mentioned above, my gcfclient crashes a lot. I use the cvs gcfclient
 checked out 18.05.2004. Crashes  means:
The client freezes. I can't walk, fight, do anything in the client.
I even can't close it by clicking on the x on the window.
Only "kill" helps.
I don't think that this is a connection problem since I have a
dsl 768/128bps connection and when I ping the server during play
I have a ping of 160ms with no packet loss.
No packet loss when the client crashes, too.

Another problem I have is with the map box.
When I start the gcfclient the map box is
positioned at the bottom of the client, so I can't see the
hitpoints, mana... and the resistances box.
Map height and width is set to 18.
I have to move the map box to the right position every time I start
the client.

Maybe you have some hints how I can locate the problem with my client.
I don't know how to use a debugger.
I started the client through ddd /gdb once and when the client crashed
and I killed the client the debugger told me:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x40487078 in write () from /lib/libc.so.6
I don't know if that is any help.
