I found the problem, at least - my .gtkrc-2.0 was causing it.  I moved
it out of the way, and the segfaults went away.  This is after a
migration of /home to a new disk, so it's entriely possible something
got foobar along the way, but as no other application is giving me
problems, I am slightly doubtful of that as the solution.

At any rate, I am happy now, although a little curious as to why a bad
theme should cause a segfault.

If you need strace's or ltrace's, let me know.  I can't get gdb to give
me anything useful.

Thanks,
