Without an actual traceback, there is little chance we can help fixing it.

Add USE=gstreamer, I get the same segfault.

This seems to be and old problem:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253637#c4

And should be solved by the following patch:

I will report it upstream

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2010-04-26 14:54:52 UTC]

But fauli reported in bug 310261 that it doesn't fix the problem :-(

 You should state the build conditions (USE=-gstreamer) in the upstream bug report.

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2010-04-26 15:13:46 UTC]

But, on my system workrave works fine even with or without gstreamer support :-/

 Pacho, the upstream bug report has more hints how to fix.  I think you can now incorporate a proper fix.

 As it segfaulted on the laptop that got stolen...I can't tell.

[Comment 12 Pacho Ramos 2010-06-16 15:39:43 UTC]

Well, we can wait a week or so for other people (like reporter) to test and, if nobody is able to, I can commit it anyway since I think it should be ok

[Comment 13 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2010-06-16 15:46:56 UTC]

Ok, found a system that segfaults.  Patch works.
