Quiterss segfaults in cinnamon - runs perfectly in other DEs

Hi.

I have a strange problem with quiterss under cinnamon
Recently and after an Syu I can't start it as it gives a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error.
I don't know exactly when started, probably 2-3 days ago. I tried to delete all application folders
~/.cache/QuiteRss
~/.config/QuiteRss
~/.local/share/

but it didn't help. Rebuilding the app also didn't help.

What is really strange is that when I log-in to one of the other DEs I use (KDE, LXDE,LXQt) the application starts normally.
Any ideas?

An strace might be helpful - especially with one from a successful start and one from a failed start.

Don't know if this helps...

I'm not sure either.  Those look identical up until the successful one running the following while the failed one segfaults before this:

open("/usr/lib/qt/plugins/styles/breeze.so" ...

This is, however, a qt style so the gtk desktops may use something else.  I'd be curious to see the strace in lxde.

I noticed that breeze and breeze-gtk was updated yesterday.

[2016-10-18 15:55] [ALPM] upgraded breeze (5.8.1-1 -> 5.8.2-1)
[2016-10-18 15:55] [ALPM] upgraded breeze-gtk (5.8.1-1 -> 5.8.2-1)

I tried to downgrade but problem still exists.

I have upload the package I build here
