https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782101 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782101#c3 --- Comment #3 from James Faulkner 2012-09-26 16:56:08 UTC --- Hi, it appears that gedit will run when a user dbus process is running, but otherwise displays the memory corruption error. For some reason, when gedit is run with strace, the dbus process gets started, but otherwise it doesn't. Perhaps this has to do with my system policy, I'm using permissions.secure and "restrictive" policykit permissions. jdf42@gari:~> gedit *** glibc detected *** gedit: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000006fbaf0 *** ^C jdf42@gari:~> ps aux | grep jdf42 root 3212 0.1 0.0 107656 4996 ?

This bug is causing me a lot of grief, because our servers will remain on 12.1 until next summer. Is there any more information I could provide which would help resolve it (or find a workround)?

I did try compiling a newer version of libXi, but it failed so I'm guessing it has interdependencies with the other X11 stuff.
