is the bug tracker for nouveau,  isn't it?

the first sentence of my bug report was:
"i am running my x server in multiscreen mode"

the subject:
"some applications crash the x server in multiscreen mode"

the symptoms are the same:
nouveau + multiscreen + gitk/git gui == crash

like stop using gitk? i've been working without it for almost two months ...

... sorry, but i have already spent too much time with this bug today ... will
reinstall ubuntu 10.10 and the proprietary driver, since i need to get some
work done
