GnoRPM seems to segfault when trying to go into the "prefrences" option within GnoRPM.
I had this happen also.. it seems to be related to gnorpm-auth.
I reported the same bug, realized i forgot to search for it first.. what happens is gnorpm tries to connect to the internet to download the preferences menu or something, then segfaults if it can't. Perhaps the menu should be included in gnorpm already?

If just connecting to internet doesn't resolve the problem, uninstall gnorpm and install it again. Then, connect to the internet before trying to go into the "preferences" in GnoRPM.
It's necessary just the first time!
Sorry You just need to delete the <user-home>/.gnome/gnorpm.d directory and the <user-home>/.gnome/gnorpm file, before running it the first time with an active Internet connection.
This is fixed in 0.9-14
