This problem still exists with glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6 and gtk2-2.10.3-1.fc6.
If I close the compose window with text in the body still highlighted,
sylpheed will crash.  At least sylpheed crashes after the E-mail is sent.

The new version of metacity 2.16.0 with Gnome 2.16 now introduces window
focusing problems.  At least THIS problem is seen in other applications,
but sylpheed use of multiple window makes it REALLY noticable.
