I cannot recreate this - Do you just start up, go to live TV, watch a
while, then escape and it dies? I have never seen this, I just tried it
again.

To get a coredump you need to set ulimit. Add this to your .profile so
that it runs every time before you start:

ulimit -c unlimited

I just tested this, I do not see this happening. Please let me know
which theme you have installed so I can try it with the same theme.

I tested this also - cannot see the problem. Perhaps if I try the same
theme as you.

Somebody else reported he had to enter the screen size on the Setup ->
Appearance to avoid everything being off-center. I also cannot recreate
that. Have you tried setting that?
