hmm, maybe it's because it can't find the XML files for the components. That is,
all components have an associated XML file to describe their UI, so
please try to also symlink those as you did with gnomedb-fe.xml

yes, strange. Seems something related to Bonobo.

I don't recall any big fix getting into Bonobo CVS lately, but that may
be the case. I'll try tonight to get those tarballs and make a clean
compilation on a clean machine, to see if I can reproduce the errors you
are getting.

Is there anybody else getting these crashes?

cheers
