Bugzilla Bug 193181

Texmaker segfaults when I try to start it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute 'texmaker' in an display aware environment

Actual Results:  
Segmenetation Fault

Expected Results:  
Program should start

I post it here, and not by upstream, because I suppose it is probably a
Gentoo-related problem, otherwise it wouldn't be marked as stable, would it?

Created an attachment (id=131378) [edit]
strace texmaker > strace.out 2>&1

I also have a ltrace file which is to big to store on the web.

Please, attach a backtrace:

If it's necessary I might recompile it with -ggdb -g or with USE="debug". The
problem seems UTF convertion.

CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="UTF-8"

cant reproduce it here :/
and I have utf8 locales also

can you try removing ~/.config/Trolltech.conf ?

also a full backtrace with debug symbols will for sure help

I'm having the same problem. Removing ~/.config/Trolltech.conf doesn't resolve.
But, if I make a ssh session, or simply use the sux to start a new session, 
I can use the program!!!

So, I think the problem is in enviroment variables, or something enabled by
these variables. The diff of my normal session and a sux one is below:

Proposed solution (worked here!):

emerge app-office/texmaker-1.60

This version is still masked on amd64, but it works without this problem!!! :)

then if this fixes a crash with unicode/utf8, let's recycle this bug report in
a stable request since it's been in the tree for 2 months or more

ppc stable

added ~ppc64 for giggles

--- amd64 ---

app-office/texmaker-1.60 

1: emerges
2: passes collision-protect, (multilib-)strict, test
3: works
