->  This is a (non-GTK+-specific) problem with the X shared memory
->  extension. If you configure GTK+ with the --disable-shm flag,
->  this should solve the problem for GTK+. (The GTK+ shipped with
->  RH 5.1 for the Alpha platform is configured in this manner.)

yes - there si defintiely a shm problem in 2.0.* alpha kernels.. works
fine on x86 but not alpha - X reports to have shmem - you can
successfulyl create a shmem segment but that segment is always 0 bytes
in size on the alpha.. and thus the whole thing goes boom. get a 2.1
kernel or disable shmem in gtk. (disable shmem if it has an option to
forcibly disable it for any other programs you have - you will suffer
badly performance wise, but at least things will work).

->  I have a vague memory that this problem may have been fixed
->  in the 2.1 kernels, but don't trust me on that one.
