How to reproduce it :

starting it
entering prefs ( M key ) 
choosing different theme => crash


it's autocrashing after a time, when it tries to switch themes..

regarding who got contacted on this package it's no wonder it's crashing :(

btw: i already erased the package ..

@All having the same problem : 

from 5th of January 2019 11:30 CET you will find an advice on how to build it yourself for Fedora 28+ here :

https://marius.bloggt-in-braunschweig.de/2019/01/05/fedora-wie-man-projectm-kompiliert/

the actual version from github works without ... ok, with some small bugs... but it does not crash anymore :)

If your are not capable of reading german, you can use https://deepl.com for a translation. Forget Google, Google Translate is crap!

@FEDORA-QA:

delete the old projectm packages from fedora, or build new ones, but don't keep them hanging around in this state, as memory corruption bugs are potentially dangerous.
