Package: meld Version: 1.1.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #353706 i have also noticed this exact same behaviour with meld. i thought i'd add that some other apps are behaving in the same way (hal-device-manager is one) so an obvious library issue.
some further info that may assist (or not): output of ldd /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 # ldd /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7ebc000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7e4f000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7e3b000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb7e32000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7d67000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7c2f000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7c0f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7c0b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) thanks Takis -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-ibm-r51 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages meld depends on: ii python 2.3.5-5 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade2 2.8.2-3 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.10.0-4 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 2.8.2-3 Python bindings for the GTK + widge Versions of packages meld recommends: ii python-gnome2-extras 2.12.1-2.1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
