Where "gftp ..." is the command line you want to run. The output will be in /tmp/strace_gftp.txt, if you look at the end of that file you will see what gftp was doing when it crashed. You may try to send the last few lines of the file to this list (the whole file will certainly be blocked because of the attachment size) for us to help you figure out what was going on. >> Probably ~/.xsession-errors could have some useful info. $ cat ~/.xsession-errors This should show you if there was an error in an X application, this file is basically the stderr of all the applications launched from X (IIRC).
