I wonder if this is the same as bug 214950 (caused by bug 214696).  Does
downgrading your at-spi help?

Comment 2 JLapham 2006-11-14 09:59:44 UTC
I'm using:

[root@cookie ~]# rpm -q at-spi
at-spi-1.7.11-2.fc6.x86_64
at-spi-1.7.11-2.fc6.i386

...which is the version that was released with FC6, no updates.  So, what should
I downgrade to?  In bug 214696 the user was playing with FC7 Test,
at-spi-1.7.12-1.fc7 and downgraded to at-spi-1.7.11-2.fc6.i386.rpm (what I am
using).

So, I think it is not at-spi.  If you still suspect that it is, please let me
know what at-spi package to try to use for the downgrade.

Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2006-11-14 14:22:42 UTC
Okay probably not that then.  Can you try running the following (as root):

yum --enable-repo=updates-debuginfo install firefox-debuginfo glib2-debuginfo
pango-debuginfo gtk2-debuginfo

and then getting a gdb backtrace?  See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces
for how to do that.

After applying today's round of updates, the problem has gone away.

If it would be helpful, I am willing to try to downgrade the packages one by one
to track down the problem more.  Anyway, the fix was in one of these updates:
