This looks bogus. I remove metacity from my machine, and "gnome-control-center universal-access" works. What crashed and where exactly?
(In reply to comment #4) I tried once again and got the same crash. "gnome-control-center universal-access" simply crashed without showing anything on screen. | "Process /usr/bin/gnome-control-center was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" | | Core was generated by `gnome-control-center universal-access'. | Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. | #0 0x00007f0e46456990 in ?? () from /usr/lib64/control-center-1/panels/libuniversal-access.so Name : control-center Epoch : 1 Version : 3.0.1.1 Release : 4.fc15 Architecture: x86_64
Please gather a backtrace of the crash, using abrt (which should be popping up) for example. If you're going to be using gdb directly (as you seem to have done already), please install control-center-debuginfo.
(In reply to comment #6) Installed debuginfo control-center and run it without metacity: | Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. | visual_bell_type_notify_cb (client=0x8ca000, cnxn_id=0, entry=0x0, | panel=0x62e2e0) at cc-ua-panel.c:533 visual_bell_type_notify_cb received NULL for entry. In cc_ua_panel_init_hearing(): | /* set the initial value */ | entry = gconf_client_get_entry (priv->client, | "/apps/metacity/general/visual_bell_type", | NULL, TRUE, NULL); | visual_bell_type_notify_cb (priv->client, 0, entry, self); And entry->value segfaulted. I guess removing metacity causes the gconf_client_get_entry for "/apps/metacity/general/visual_bell_type" to return NULL.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
