I tried 1.3.3.10 from OpenSuSE and it keep crashing with Signal 11 when I 
tried opening a 1.3.3.7 file with a total of five pictures. Turns out two of 
the pictures were bigger than the frame. When I deleted the pictures, 
rescaled the pictures with Gimp 480x360 to 256x192 and put them back, it 
worked. I was looking for a version 1.3.3.9 for SuSE 10.2 but only found 
1.3.4 and 1.3.5 and the older 1.3.3.7. 

I installed 1.3.5svn ? and it appears to would with a 1.3.4 document but the 
style sheets are giving me the same problem I was seeing in 1.3.4. I will 
investigate further and make sure its not an operator problem first.
