I did an update on my system and tried running the new firefox 5 and suddenly all my gnome apps died. Now I can no longer get into my gnome desktop (it just loads the wallpaper and sits there with no panel). I am able to get into openbox (as long as I don't load it with the gnome) but it seems that all my gtk apps now give a segmentation fault and die.
I've tried gnome-terminal, firefox, gnome-session-properties, meld from openbox and they're all segfaulting on load.
Does anyone have an ideas how I can track down the issue?
I've tried moving .gnome* .gconf* into a different directory with no luck. I tried the fallback mode in gnome.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Update (June 22, 2011):
With the help of one of the developers in the bug tracker, I managed to get it all working again. This is what worked for me if anyone else wants to try it:

I just had the same problem. I think it's something to do with glib2 (telepathy-glib was upgraded on my system at the same time as firefox) as firefox and gnome-mplayer crashed after they called something in libgio, part of glib2. Anyway to find the problem I rebuilt glib2 with debugging symbols, but that made the problem disappear.

Thanks pdunning. I tried rebuilding glib2 from abs but still have the issue. Did you use the PKGBUILD in abs? What changes did you make to add the debugging symbols?
Is anyone else having this issue?

I had this problem before, Im fairly sure it was because I was using oxygen as my gtk theme while using gtk as my qt theme, or something along those lines, try backing up your .gtkrc-2.0 and deleting the current one to see if that does anything. Sorry but its been a while since i've had this similar problem.

has anyone done a pacman -Sy without upgrading? thats probably not it, but thats always been a recipe for disaster for me.

I added debugging symbols to the ABS PKGBUILD as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … tings_only. In my case it was definitely not a GTK Oxygen theme as mine uses QtCurve.

I tried building glib2 with the debugging symbols... still get the segfault. I'm just using the default theme so I don't think it has anything to do with the oxygen theme.
I created a bug for the issue. Perhaps that will help with sorting it out. In the mean time I'll keep playing around with it.
If anyone has any other ideas please throw them my way!
