I don't know if anythings changed but I just downloaded 1.9b and got the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.NonWindowsCBanner.getIm ageResource(NonWindowsCBanner.java:143)
...and more errors relating to NonWindowsCBanner
and StatusLine.<init>(StatusLine.java:140)
etc....
lots to type but if you need info I will type it out!
Happened on Linux and Beta 1.9 worked perfect! Thanks
