It might crash for another reason, but if the segfault is indicating Xft
issues, then it's probably still this problem.

The only stuff I build from source is GARNOME, so no. All of my Debian
packages are reasonably recent sid ones.

If someone has a link to a good "How to configure Xft correctly", I'll link
it on the GARNOME page. Most distributions will do this sensibly for you,
however. :-)
