Hi,

very usefull software, using it on Fedora 10, rpm built cleanly after instaling
guile-devel as 
  rpmbuild -ta tarball
 
Upon first startup

  xbindkeys --defaults > /root/.xbindkeysrc

did err out when there was no previous .xbindkeysrc*, however I can not 
reproduce
it anymore. 
  xbindkeys -dg 
worked fine.

After a few days of use found one coredump:

Not sure what was the content of the rcfile at that time, so far unable to 
reproduce.

I noticed on other occasions that malloc()/free() are very touchy in Fedora 10,
many of my programs that worked for years needed fixes - the more frequent 
problems
were freeing areas where the pointer pointed into the area rather at the start
or double freeing.
