Hi Auréllen!

catfish starts fine here (Mageia x86-64 v6/Cauldron) from the konsole/xterm command line in both my regular account with Xfce from startx, and in a new user - "kdetest" - running jwm on startx.

Can you please try to see if it happens for you in a new UNIX user account running IceWM, JWM or a different lightweight window manager? Furthermore, what is your computer's hardware specs and are you on i586 or x86-86?

Added patch from upstream (originally from Fedora) to catfish-1.3.3-3.mga6. Please test if it fixes the issue.

Resolving as WORKSFORME due to the fact that I was unable to reproduce the problem, and that the original reporter has been unresponsive. If the bug still happens to you, please come back with more information and I'll reopen it.
