Oh dear.

There really is nothing more to *my* reproducing it than what I've
said:

1.  from the shell, type "sol" and hit enter.
2.  Aisleriot comes up showing the game last played, which right
now is "Zebra"
3.  I hit the "select game" button on the toolbar, and a list of
solitaire games pops up in a smaller window.
4.  I select one and hit OK, and all the windows immediately die,
and the error messages above go to the console, after which I'm
back at a shell prompt.

I'm running etch on AMD64, had used this program successfully within
24 hours of when I ran into this problem, and in the intervening
time had done some package upgrading via apt-get.  So maybe there's
some package version incompatibility that wasn't caught?
