[As-users] AfterStep 2.00.01 crash

I've recently updated to AfterStep 2.00.01. Right away i noticed big
changes from 1.8.11, namely that all my carefully crafted config files
were completely ignored and i have to set things up from scratch. It
seemed that AS now uses ~/.afterstep rather than
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep to store configuration data. (Was there a
particular reason for the switch? I'm not complaining; storing
configuration in ~/.afterstep makes more sense to me and being a hidden
directory doesn't needlessly clutter ls listings.)
Anyway, i've noticed an oddity which causes AfterStep to crash. To
repeat the crash, start with a clean configuration (as in, remove or
rename ~/.afterstep and restart the window manager). Then do:
$ cp /usr/share/afterstep/feels/feel.DEFAULT \
~/.afterstep/non-configurable/0_feel
$ $EDITOR ~/.afterstep/non-configurable/0_feel
Comment out the StickyIcons line and save the file. Then restart
AfterStep. To cause a crash, minimize a window. Click on the minimized
icon (as to restore the window) and AfterStep dies.
Is there some other setting that i need to look out for in order to
successfully comment out StickyIcons?
