My gedit application is crashing constantly. I start the app and within seconds it crash's and wants me to submit a bug report. The "Error Dialog Box" says that the [application has crashed due to a fatal error (segmentation fault)] When I use the text viewer in nautlius it crash's as well, not nautilus but just the text viewer part.. i think this problem is also related to the gedit application. I have tried to re-emerge gedit using only either '-02' or '-03' but neither gives any improvement.

It really makes me wonder why it is crashing, I hope that someone can look at this and get back to me.
Please submit a bug report, as the dialog suggests. That bug report will go to bugzilla.gnome.org, where it really belongs. Thanks.
try re-emerging gtk+ with only -O2 as well, that might help. I'm closing this because it appears to be upstream. better solved there.
I reemerged gedit and gtk+ with only "-02" and it has not crashed once yet today.. previously it was crashing withing seconds each and every time i tried to use it. Thanks spider :)
