I use gnome, but I haven't seen anything similar. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFFOplbtTMYHG2NR9URArRCAJ9XZK0+Wg/3RNfZG8LuHCRVMszWYQCgjlFT etDD4TwcVHaa/BYMOsVzJYw= =wfN7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Such an error is always a bug (or misuse of glib) in the application. Some routine has been given a pointer which it believes should be a glib object, but is in fact not such an object. This type of bug is possible primarily because GNOME/glib are written in C, not C++, and C does not support "true" object-oriented programming. To simulate OO programming, glib uses a number of hacks/kludges, and one of the major drawback of these types of hacks/kludges is that they cannot protect against this type of bug (whereas strong type safety, as exists in C++, can).

It's not something you can correct without modifying the source code for the application. The peculiar thing is it's only just started happening.. The programs displaying the problems are 'packaged' not compiled by me and where running fine last week.

Everything running fine on my system, using 10.1 and gnome. Some config thing, some app? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It could be that the source code is creating objects based on content from some config or data file, and that the content of this file (or these files) has changed in an "incorrect" way, revealing a previously-unseen bug. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

I guess this is a possibility. I've removed the config files for the applications but that still hasn't worked. I also believe it must be a 'common' config file as at least two packages are demonstrating the same

I also run gnome. I don´t have linux-gate-so.* on my system.

So this is unlikely to be my problem :-( More investigation required..... Phil

Phil Deleted the .fonts folder in the home directory and this has now allowed the applications to start. (fonts don't look too good but at least they work now!).
