fc4 on x86_64, gtk2 weird behaviour

[oleksandr korneta]

Hello All,

I'm fighting with FC4 trying to make it work on x86_64 (Turion) based 
laptop. Honestly saying there is a whole bunch of troubles so far. But I 
   hope (still) to handle those.

Anyway here is the point. Something weird has happened to all gtk2-based 
  applications. Whenever you try to open Open/Save dialog window the 
program just hangs and you have to kill it. If you run it as regular 
user there is no output to console, however running something (let's say 
gedit) from the root terminal seems to yield this:

# gedit
*** glibc detected *** gedit: malloc(): memory corruption: 
0x00000000009a7c80 ***


again application just hangs.

I have to say that, firefox (1.5) behaves a bit differently. It also 
gets stuck, but not always. Sometimes it works just fine for some reason.

The only thing I recall, one can blame on is that I've updated gnome to 
2.12 from http://www.nrpms.net repository. But I'm not sure about that 
being a reason.

any suggestions?
