Recently I've noticed that Gaim constantly segfaults for no apparent reason. Per the instructions in the ebuild, I'm submitting a backtrace of one such crash. One thing I notice is that the crashes seem to only happen whem I'm using the mouse to enter text in a chat window. #0 0xb7d84b46 in gtk_text_insert () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #1 0xb7d9d10c in gtk_text_iter_ends_line () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #2 0xb7d9d398 in gtk_text_iter_forward_to_line_end () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb7da2408 in gtk_text_layout_get_iter_at_line () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7da657a in gtk_text_layout_get_iter_at_position () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #5 0xb7da662e in gtk_text_layout_get_iter_at_pixel () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #6 0xb7db7903 in gtk_text_view_get_buffer () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #7 0xb7cfddee in gtk_marshal_BOOLEAN__VOID () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #8 0xb78c8769 in g_value_set_boxed () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #9 0xb78c9f29 in g_closure_invoke () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #10 0xb78dacdd in g_signal_chain_from_overridden () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #11 0xb78dbc6d in g_signal_emit_valist () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #12 0xb78dc049 in g_signal_emit () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #13 0xb7e2222a in gtk_widget_get_default_style () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #14 0xb7cf7658 in gtk_propagate_event () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #15 0xb7cf9102 in gtk_main_do_event () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- #16 0xb7b71e8a in gdk_add_client_message_filter () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #17 0xb7855a29 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #18 0xb7856268 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #19 0xb7856607 in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #20 0xb7cf8bf3 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #21 0x080f8a42 in main ()

I've got a similar error. Gaim frequently segfaults when moving the mouse over a gaim window.

Okay, I finally figured out what was causing the problem. It looks like gtk+ was causing the crashes. The problem was due to gtk+ being compiled with gcc 4. When I switched back to gcc 3.4.5 and reinstalled gtk+, everything started working again. So maybe use --oneshot and install gtk+ with gcc 3.4.5, then switch back to gcc 4.1.1.

Yeah, I recently recompiled gtk with 4.1.1 and gaim started crashing mysteriously. Which means this is what? A gaim bug? A gtk bug? or a gcc bug?
I have the same problem on my x86 box. My PPC machine seems to be ok. Does seem like a shame to re-emerge gtk using gcc3. Anybody have a fix?

Rebuilding gtk+ with -O2 instead of -O3 solves the problem. See <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133469">bug #133469</a>.
I'm going to close this bug as it was a gtk+ issue and the corresponding gtk+ bug has been closed as fixed.
