did you try:
which gnome-font-properties
(as non-root) to see if you have other binaries somewhere else?
did you try:
strace gnome-font-properties
to see other debugging (juicy) information?
did you try:
$> ls -l /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2004-05-16
00:45 /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0 -> libmetacity-private.so.0.0.0
$> ls -l /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 149K 2004-05-15
19:22 /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0.0.0
to make sure that those libraries are actually there?
did you try:
$> ldd /usr/bin/gnome-font-properties | grep metacity
libmetacity-private.so.0 => /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0
(0x4002f000)
to see if the library is pointing to where it should, and it's found?
Last but not least, make sure that you check:
$>cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib
/usr/local/lib
I ran out of possible things to try. I hope that helps.
