What is the message?
I moved to fc2 (from rh9) last week, and got errors such as:

(process:3112): GLib-CRITICAL (recursed) **: file gstring.c: line 672
(g_string_erase): assertion `pos >= 0' failed

in a couple of conduits.  From a quick googling, it looks like these
errors are due to a glib bug that has been fixed in cvs but didn't make
it into Fedora Core 2.  See:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139030

The patch is visible in cvs:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glib/glib/gmessages.c

Patch your rpm or wait for an update...
