Re: Segfault in gdk_screen_init

["Adrian E. Feiguin" <afeiguin kitp ucsb edu>]

I Have the same problem. With gnome-2.2.0 half of the applications 
crashed, including the gnome-terminal, and gnome-panel

After debugging I've found exactly the same problem with 
gdk_screen_init, but I'm guessing that there is a deeper and more 
troubling issue with binary compatibility being broken even before 
2.8.2, at some point after 2.6 actually. Everything worked fine after I 
installed 2.4. Nothing works with newer versions. (RH9.0, Gnome 2.2).

Saludos,
