Yup it is funny it does not happen all the time. It was working fine for
a week and then all of a sudden it did not start up automatically when I
started gnome-desktop. When I tried to launch though a gnome launcher it 
did not comeup, but when I tried from gnome-terminal, those glibc 
pointer errors came up. When I finally got it to work after re-login all 
my data had disappeared except for the first line (title line) and only 
one sticky note had the data.

I am wondering if this problem could happen if by mistake xpad is
launched multiple times making the two instances conflict on the data 
files in .config/xpad.

Also I have a tenancy to think this is a pointer error as the errors I
got were indicating a loose pointer somewhere (i.e. using unallocated
memory space possibly or a buffer overrun)

I check my /var/log but I could not find anything on the xpad or glibc 
error for some reason. Is there any other dumps you would like me to 
send you?
