Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnustep

When attempting to launch any GNUstep application in Ubuntu 10.10
(Maverick), it leaves a few errors, then segfaults. Here is an example
of launching Terminal.app:

$ Terminal 
2010-10-31 00:48:54.698 Terminal[18661] XShm pixmaps not supported by X server.
2010-10-31 00:48:54.698 Terminal[18661] Falling back to normal XImage: s (will 
be slower).
2010-10-31 00:48:55.569 Terminal[18661] Problem posting notification: 
<NSException: 0x104bce0> NAME:NSRangeException REASON:index is out of range in 
function _attributesAtIndexEffectiveRange() INFO:(nil)
Segmentation fault

All GNUstep applications suffer from the bug. For example, GNUMail is
not usable either:

$ GNUMail 
2010-10-31 00:46:58.021 GNUMail[18650] XShm pixmaps not supported by X server.
2010-10-31 00:46:58.021 GNUMail[18650] Falling back to normal XImage: s (will 
be slower).
2010-10-31 00:46:58.910 GNUMail[18650] Problem posting notification: 
<NSException: 0xc80b00> NAME:NSRangeException REASON:index is out of range in 
function _attributesAtIndexEffectiveRange() INFO:(nil)
Segmentation fault
