firefox and wicd GUI suddenly started segfaulting.

like the title says, these applications suddenly started segfaulting when ran. only thing ive changed is running a system update yesterday, and everything was working fine afterwords... until yesterday that is.
       

[a@a-laptop ~]$ firefox

(firefox:8946): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",

(firefox:8946): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",

(firefox:8946): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "crux-engine",

(firefox:8946): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",

(firefox:8946): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",
Segmentation fault
[a@a-laptop ~]$

[a@a-laptop ~]$ /usr/lib/wicd/gui.py
/usr/lib/wicd/gui.py:1223: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
  self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(gladefile)
/usr/lib/wicd/gui.py:1223: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",
  self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(gladefile)
/usr/lib/wicd/gui.py:1223: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "crux-engine",
  self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(gladefile)
refreshing...
Segmentation fault

anoyingly there is nothing particularly useful in the terminal output, the GTK warnings have bean around for several months without any problems, GVim still works fine and that also displays the same errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any ideas why it would suddenly start to do this? ive already reinstalled these packages and its the same.

Re: firefox and wicd GUI suddenly started segfaulting.

Refer to /var/log/pacman.log to see the list of packages you updated today/yesterday. I'd start there.  I'm up to date as of this morning and have suffered no seg faults with FF, but I don't use wicd.

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",

Thanks!
