What sorts of errors?

What sort of errors?

Huh? What do you mean "locked up your GUI"? What GUI? Your browser?
X-Windows? Was the GUI running on the same box as the Zope processes?

You say below that your GUI was KDE3. Does this mean that X was
unresponsive?

What do you mean "save my work on 2.4.3"? Zope saves as it goes, so I can't figure
out what you could have had to save.

Do what from a console?

Error messages are logged to the site error reporting service.

   http://localhost:8080/++etc++Services/Packages/default/ErrorReportingService-1

Of course, adjust the port number and host as necessary.

It's available in CVS in OpenOffice format:

You can put them wherever you want.  Just make sure you put them
in the Python path or in a package that's in the Python path.

We haven't come up with standards (amd standard setup) for this *yet*.

I hope we will for Alpha 2 (early February).
