        Hi,

 It is, but:
 - I wondered why you used the tag experimental since you're tracking
   sid and using some sarge package,
 - release critical bug reports (ie reports with severity higher than
   important) should be treated with care and adding "experimental"
   really change a lot of things for us.

 If unsure, it's always safe to report bugs with the default severity
 (normal and tags (none), the maintainer will adjust them.

 That's strange, on my system:
    bee% objdump -T /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so | grep g_assert_warning
    0002d0f0 g    DF .text  0000007e  Base        g_assert_warning

 You seem to have libglib2.0-0 2.6.2-1, the same as mine.

    bee% ldd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-xim.so | grep glib
            libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x404e9000)

 I don't see how this could happen, did you:
 - compile or install glib, gtk, or anything related, from non-Debian
   sources?
 - have filesystem / hardware trouble?
 - change the configuration of your dynamic linker (ld)?

 We're not experiencing your problem, could you try upgrading the Gtk
 packages again?

 Could you please attach your /etc/ld.so.conf, and /etc/apt/
 configuration files?

   Thanks,
