I never noticing the theme example crashing, so you're welcome to play with
it, but as to the wrong focus, that was my own fault, I was reimplementing the
focusing scheme for X, and broke it for win32, and what worse, I forgot to
roll it back before the release. So what I'm saying is that I'll fix this
(hopefully) soon.

You know. I've been observing a lot of open source projects, in particular
I was interested in why they were adopted, or not adopted by many. My best
advice is therefore this: do whatever you want with Prima, - be it either
creating your own applications based on it, or submitting patches,
documentation etc - anything will do good. Of course if you're short of
ideas, I'd very much like to ask you to proofread the docs, but hey, that's
boring :) But seriously, I think that it is emergence of Prima-based
apps that will help the project best.
