Have you registered Thing? I remember having some really strange problems
with Taskbar (if started from n_aes.cnf) and Thing 1.27 quite some time
ago. It was quite similar to your problems, and it turned out to be a
problem with Thing loading thingreg.ovl. It's been a while now, but I
think the problem was solved by not running GEM-apps from n_aes.cnf.
Adding (or removing?) thingreg.ovl fixed it entirely.

I don't think you can blame it on the kernel, it appears to be pretty
random what kernel it works on.

OK, I've looked through the correspondance with Juhani (he was the one
with the problem mentioned above), and it was Thing 1.20, not 1.27, that
had that thingreg.ovl-bug. I can't remember if this was fixed in 1.27,
Thomas can probably tell.
