  Hi Andy,

    I've also had a lot of wierd errors with gtk+ on my Alpha. The version
that shipped with RedHat v5.1 works fine but any of the tar.gz images that
I download from ftp.gtk.org crash with BadAccess errors. After looking at
the RedHat Source RPMs. I found that RedHat has patched gtk+ by disabling
Xwindows shared memory. This has fixed the BadAccess errors that I ran into.
Although YMMV.

Attached to this is the RedHat patch distributed with Gtk+1.0.1 it worked
for me with gtk+1.0.6. It's really small and it's a one line
change so try applying it to gtk+ 1.1.14. If not you should be patch the 
code by hand. It just sets a variable to FALSE.
