anyone have any clues on what would make just about all gnome apps die w/
segfault on start?  balsa, panel, gnomecc...
all cvs stuff, checked it last night, clean compiled,
i586-linux-pc-glibc2.

here's the bt again from balsa crashing

Starting program: /opt/gnome/bin/balsa 
Unable to connect to server port 35091
This generally means that the program could not talk to the esound server

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
