Segfault in gdk_screen_init

[Rich Jerrell <rojerrell gmail com>]

I'm pretty sure I must have screwed something up.  I recently
installed gtk-2.8.1 and glib-2.8.1 and now I can't seem to run several
things in X.  The simplest one to get to crash is gimp.  It bails out
with a segfault in gdk_screen_init in gdkscreen.c

Starting program: /usr/bin/gimp
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Could anyone help me sort this out?
