(This isn't really "all" platforms, but 'alpha' is not listed.) The emerge failed, so I extracted the package myself. I set CCFLAGS="-static -g" and ran ./configure and 'make all'. I ran gnome-session under gdb and got this message: 0x20000860b48 in g_private_get_posix_impl () from /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 I installed from stage3-alpha-ev6-1.4-r1.

So gnome-session-2.0.7 doesnt emerge properly ? I'd like to know what the compile error was . Furthermore , could you attach the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to this bug report ? And could you try running gnome-session with GDK_USE_XFT set to 0 (by setting it in /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome for example).
OOPS - The emerge does NOT fail. (I think I confused myself because I was working on two different platforms and three different systems simultaneously.) I extracted and compiled the package manually because I don't know how to compile with the symbol table using 'emerge' or 'ebuild'. I just tried setting GDK_USE_XFT to 0 in my /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome file, but I got the same error when running under gdb. I will attach my fonts.conf file.
Created attachment 5819 [details] fonts config file Here's my fonts.conf file, as requested. Thanks!
hmm.. odd. Could you quickly try modifying your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file with the following: ---snip--- <!-- Font directory list configured for Gentoo --> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/jmk</dir> ---snap--- Could you also verify what running eg gnome-terminal out of blackbox for example does ? It'd be interesting to see if that works with and without xft enabled. Oh , while at it , could you "attach" your ds20e so that I can test it myself ;) ? And you could try upgrading to glib-2.0.7 as well.
1. I pasted the font directory list into my fonts.conf (in place of what was there), but to no avail. 2. I get the same error ("0x20000ec2b48 in g_private_get_posix_impl () from /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0") when I run gnome-terminal in gdb, with GDK_USE_XFT set to 0, 1, or undefined. 3. I am already running glib-2.0.7. 4. Sorry, the ds20e is real, physical "property", and as such, fits into the category of things that can sensibly be "owned". This also puts it in the category of "things that cannot be transmitted as data". ;-) Bugzilla-newbie question: If I just reply to the emails, will our correspondence be recorded in the same way? (or should I keep using the web form?)
so , I finally got my xp1000 (ev67) and I was able to reproduce your exact problem. Still it is very odd, because Im not entirely sure whats causing it. Could you please try a couple of things : reemerge glib with flags only set to "-O2 -pipe" run fc-cache in every font-path thats mentioned in your fonts.conf run gnome-terminal in a non-gnome session and check if it segfaults in the same place (It did for me ... once !!) and last: what kernel version are you running ?

Did all those things; I still got "0x20000ecc954 in g_private_get_posix_impl () from /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0" :-( > and last: what kernel version are you running ? vanilla-sources-2.4.19
right .. The problem is related to glib2.0.7 ! Emerge 2.0.6-r1 and it should work ! Im investigating the problem right now .
I've just put in a patch to keep gnome-session-properties from segfaulting on alpha. I suspect this bug can be closed. Reopen it if necessary, please. gnome-session-2.0.9-r1 and gnome-session-2.2.0.2 have the fix. Aron
