After emerging xchat without gtk support, I get a xchat-text binary that segfaults on load. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-gtk" emerge xchat 2. xchat-text 3. kaboom Actual Results: Segmentation fault. Details on the attached log file. Expected Results: xchat-text, which presumably is a text-mode IRC client. Error messages and emerge --info attached as xchat_crash.log.
Created attachment 279005 [details] emerge --info and crash log.

Created attachment 279433 [details, diff] xchat-2.8.8-dbus.patch This calls g_type_init() in the dbus-plugin. The dbus-plugin assumes that xchat was compiled with gtk+ support and that the gtk+'s initialization functions will indirectly initialize most of glib.
