[Squirrel-sql-users] Squirrel SQL client gui freezes and Ubuntu Unity desktop file no longer works

[Paul M. <pau...@sp...>]

While in the object tab of an sql alias instance and when changing between
tables, the gui froze.  I used 'xkill' to stop squirrel client.  I'm using
the keep alive class.  I received the following stack trace as it crashed:

What can I do to fix this issue?  What could have caused these exceptions?
Might it have something to do with xkill?
