Is your system Red Hat 7.2 in other ways?

Porbably something to do with config files or the set of files in your packages. Maybe you could try the i386.rpm 
from ftp.gtk.org; they are built against 7.2 with almost exactly the SRPMs as the ones in rawhide. (They
have debugging information, however.)

 * As Sven says, is anything printed on the console?
 * If you do a backtrace, where is it crashing?

If you are using Xft, the problem may be a bug in XFree86-4.1; upgrading to 4.2 is really necessary to use
Xft fonts.
