Hi,

I have been running on JBX ENT fine, Mandrake 9.1. Then, suddenly, JBX 
wouldn't display any text on the screen. It starts up with the tip 
dialogue, and if I run the thing at the command line, if gives a null 
pointer error when I close the tips dialogue.

Then it won't shut down. It is attempting to restore the session that I 
last had open, I can see the file path in the main screen at the top of 
the window per usual, but the body of the screen is blank. Totally 
empty. Only the status bar at the bottom updates and the menu system at 
the top works (has the icons too). Rest is just... blank.

File/exit does nothing.

The only way to kill it, is to start up a terminal and whack it with a 
kill. Or start at commandline in foreground and ctrl-c to exit.

But that means that turning the tips off hasn't been recorded... and so 
the thing goes right back to square one at next startup complete with 
null pointer error and blank screen.

Does anyone know how to reset JBX? I don't want to have to reinstall it 
from scratch again. I just want it to lose its session record as 
something there must be screwed up!

Thanks!

Brad
