launching URxvt crashes gnome 3 unexpectedly

This started just maybe 3 or 4 days ago, it seems that launching certain types of window crashes gnome. If I launch urxvt my gnome session terminates and all I can see is a the urxvt terminal on one monitor and the logout window stretched to fit the entirety of my second monitor.

Other terminals which I DON'T have a problem with are xterm, final-term.

The only other thing I have found that will crash gnome similarly is xmessage, which I was using to generate a little popup when I add torrents from a shell script.

I launch X with startx, and after the session crashes and I click logout, there are no X errors. the X log file doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.

I'm really stumped, I'm running gnome shell 3.14.3.

Anyone have any ideas of where to start looking?

In your .Xresources?

Install openbox and see if you have any issues with a simpler, sounder WM?

Re: launching URxvt crashes gnome 3 unexpectedly

don't seem to have any problem in awesomewm.

I feel like it has something to do with the window decorations on those particular x windows.

Re: launching URxvt crashes gnome 3 unexpectedly

It seems to happen only with themes extracted under /usr/share/themes

if I set any window or gtk theme to anything extracted under /usr/share/themes, I get that error on certain windows. I also get an error saying 'user shell themes failed to load' under gnome-tweak-tool
