Is anyone out there using Eiffel 2.2?  More specifically, is anyone using
the graphics library of Eiffel 2.2?  I finally received the upgrade and
have spent the last few weeks upgrading the Eiffel code I had written using
2.1.  This release is a definite improvement, especially in the implementation
of menus and buttons.  Events are handled in a much more elegant way.
There have been episodes of flakiness, however, and I'm not sure what the
cause is.  Sometimes my application behaves differently each time I run it
although I do not make any changes in between runs.  Seriously, I can run it
once, and it will crash, giving a meaningless error message.  I can start the
program again, and it runs fine.  It's very strange.  Anyway, does anyone
out there have any comments on Eiffel 2.2 (especially the graphics)?
