[invalid] Kompozer Crashes in LM7 & LM6 but not in LM5.

Hi
Kompozer appears to install ok using either of the installers but as soon as one selects View>Show/Hide it crashes.
This also happened in LM6.
I have reverted to LM5 (Elyssa, which is my favorite so far) as this does not have this problem.
There are several reports of Kompozer crashes on the Ubuntu site.
Perhaps this application should be remove from the installers until its problems are resolved as something like this can give Linux a bad name which it certainly does not deserve.

This is is a problem with Kompozer. Kompozer uses an old version of GTK+, which is incompatible with the version used by LM 6 and later. If you don't mind bleeding edge software, try the latest alphas of Kompozer here. Don't mind the fact that it is marked 'alpha', it is more stable than 0.7.10 and will crash a lot less.

Thanks Old Marcus - its good to know why.
I think I will stick with LM5 for now as I have been regularly using Kompozer with it since LM5 came out and have not had a single crash and also it takes a good few hours to swap to LM7 with backing up files, settings, etc.
