Don't worry, the archives for gtk-list are broken anyway. :-)

OK, strace isn't the diagnostic tool you want for this. You need to
compile the program and libraries with the '-g' option (libraries probably
are by default), then run the program in gdb and get a backtrace.

$ gdb ./programname
(gdb) run
[segv]
(gdb) bt

I don't see a bug in the program, so 95% likely that your header files and
libraries don't match, so you get binary incompatibility and breakage.
Either that or a bug in the theme you're using or something like that.
