Actual Results: Freeze Expected Results: Getting a running file-roller
Please post your emerge info, any chance of getting a backtrace as well? Thanks.

Is this on a plain startup, or on opening an archive?
Plain startup. I tried to run file-roller from a (x)terminal (gnome-terminal) to se if there is any output (some progs give you a backtrace upon crash, or you might see output from an uncatched exception. But it's a plain startup - I have a similiar issue with nautilus, it hangs on the same system call, the FUTEX one - I get the impression it's not only file-roller specific but a more common problem.
Resolved the issue. From what I can gues one lib was broken, after getting halfway through 'emerge --emptytree world' file-roller starts again ... Marked it as Fixed ...
