[newbie] glib2.0 problem

[David C Yang <dyanga@sfu.ca>]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade libgtk2.0 packages (testing) with dselect
which gave me the following error message.

_____
Setting up libgtk2.0-bin (2.6.2-3) ...
Updating the IM modules list for GTK+-2.4.0...Cannot load module 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-xim.so:

g_assert_warning

g_assert_warning

dpkg: error processing libgtk2.0-bin (--configure):
 subprocesses post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libgtk2.0-bin

This made gdm hang and I wasn't able to log onto Gnome ever since.

All I know is that g_assert_warning is part of the libglib2.0 2.6.2 that 
was upgraded together with libgtk.
What could be causing this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
