Well here on debian ppc sid with the new libgnome2 2.1.90 installed nautilus2 and xchat 1.9.7 are broken. However if I regress only gtk/glib back to 2.0.6 I find they are fixed again. The new libgnome2 doesn't seem to be the problem. I'll rebuild the glib/gtk 2.0.6 packages with gcc 3.2 later to prove the point that gcc 3.2 is not at fault and this must be a compatibility problem in moving to glib/gtk 2.2. Jack
