It opens a window but never fills in any details; there's just a blank background. The process becomes unkillable, even with -9, and although I can do a normal shutdown, the root partition can't be unmounted because the gtop process is still running and so fsck is forced on reboot. There are no oops messages that I can find in any of the logs. Actually, this happens with all the most recent 2.5.x kernels. I'm not sure how far back it goes, but I believe it was working OK prior to 2.5.8. (If necessary I can try to narrow it down further.) It still works great with 2.4.19-pre8 and 2.4.19-pre8-ac5.
