My kids had already report me this problem with tuxtype2, it doesn't work in 
their 3 different FC6 boxes.

enabling/disabling glx does not help
running with -w option (window mode) does not help

running in debug mode (-b) gives the following output before exit with a 
segfault:

[ tuxtype2 -b ]
LoadSettings: Settings file does not exist! settings not loaded

tuxtype2, version 1.5.3 BEGIN
