initial version

These crashes on startup have been very difficult to track down.

My latest progress is that I've found that using the --sync option for the Electric version of rviz makes it work about 80% of the time for an affected computer I have (the Asus EEE PC laptop which came with my TurtleBot). Whatever the problem is, it only happens on startup. If rviz starts, it continues to run fine.

So, try this (on Electric):

rosrun rviz rviz --sync

If you are using the Unstable or Fuerte versions you only need one dash:

rosrun rviz rviz -sync
