gnome on linux-alpha

[Conrad Steenberg <conrad srl caltech edu>]

Hi

I'm having trouble executing gnome apps on linux-alpha. 
This is with binaries compiled from the source rpms 0.27/0.28 on gnome.org

Every app I've tried fails with this error:

** ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  serial 49 error_code 10 request_code 129 minor_code 3

Below is an strace of an attempt to start the panel:

kill(21947, SIGABRT)                    = 0
--- SIGABRT (Aborted) ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++


The problem seems to be an attempt to shared memory that fails.

Any ideas or help would be most appreciated...
