  Hi Micha,

  Thx for your msg and your work for Debian.

  As you suggested I built libgtk2.0-bin and tried again. No fix. Sorry.

  Besides, building libgtk was a PITA, all in caps. It was failing all over
  the build in docs, tutorials and finally doing the TEST stuff that made
  debuild stop (despite the "..] Error 2 [ignored]" msg). 
  Calling fakeroot manually and fixing up all docs/.. references in lots
  of install files and in rules (it _is_ tedious to exclude docs from being
  configured/built and packaged). 
  
  Finally there's the deb files. Well, just the patch didn't fix it. 

  Do you mean to also replace the -common stuff?

  Cheers

# This is very likely a duplicate of Debian bugs #616150 and #634091,
# which is IMHO a bug in the gtk+2.0 package.
# 
# If you want you can try my patch for gtk+2.0 that I've posted here:
# http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=57;filename=fix_null_pointer_segfault.patch;att=2;bug=616150
# 
# If you can confirm that this patch fixes your problem, I'll merge this
# bug with the other two bugs.
# 
# Regards,
# Micha
