Description Philip L 2005-08-26 16:41:00 UTC 
Distribution/Version: 2.6.12.5

After installing GTK+ 2.8.1, many applications (e.g. firefox, galculator,
gqview), but not all, segfault on startup with the same trace:

+ Trace 62638

  • #0 gdk_screen_init
    from /usr/local/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Interestingly, this only seems to happen when I use NVidia's x11 driver but not
when I use XFree's. There was no crash in GTK+ 2.8.0.
