Has anyone gotten Icon (in Programming/Demos) to work? I get a segmentation fault. This is undoubtedly a case of Beta-Death, but since it's Christmas, I thought I'd ask anyway...

Fairly nice, too, although it doesn't win the I^3 award (Instantly Intuitive Interface). Fortunately, it is one of the few applications currently blessed with extensive on-line help. Unfortunately, the program behaves differently when help is on, since help sometimes-but-not-always traps a mouse click (some clicks will call up the help window, but not take their normal effect, while others will do both). >I get a segmentation fault.

It *did* dump core the first time I ran it, but hasn't since. How are you trying to launch it? From a Terminal, Browser, or off the dock?
