Public bug reported: Since today (Aug 26th)'s update (Gutsy Gibbon), I've had some trouble with Gnome application's windows failing to load. The symptoms are: If I run from menu then it looks like a crashed application. However its not taking any processor... and compiz does not gray it out... (it still happens if I turn off compiz). If I run from terminal it produces no output and no window is drawn
This is true for many GTK based applications (gedit, chess) preferences dialogs (everything that I tried on the preferences and administration menu) don't open... I can create windows from existing applications (tested with gaim). Opening gedit from terminal causes no output and just crashes... I followed the steps from [1] to produce a backtrace of gedit (since its from terminal, no window opened in this case): Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1". (gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description SIG33 No No Yes Real-time event 33 (gdb) set pagination 0 (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/gedit Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
