It was to do with the ordering of the loading of the libraries.  I discovered 
that I had an old version of pango-1.0 in /usr/lib which was sometimes being 
loaded ahead of pango-1.2 in /opt/gnome-2-2/lib.  It's annoying, because I 
always try and keep the gnome-2 stuff out of /usr/lib to avoid this kind of 
thing.  Anyway, once cleaned out it works fine.
