Description of problem:
Sometimes, gedit refuses to run, apparently hanging before its GUI appears. If
it hangs when run from a terminal, it will exit and return the shell prompt on a
Ctrl-C.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.2-5

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gedit, either via the GNOME menu or from a terminal.
2.
3.

The problem does not always appear, but once it has appeared during a session,
gedit will then *always* fail to start unless I log out and return.

Actual Results:  gedit does not start.

Running "gedit --debug" in a terminal gives the following output:

gedit-prefs-manager.c:314 (gedit_prefs_manager_init) 
gedit-prefs-manager.c:1069 (gedit_prefs_manager_get_max_recents) 
gedit-prefs-manager.c:404 (gedit_prefs_manager_get_int)

...and then nothing happens. Ctrl-C will kill it and return to the prompt.


Expected Results:  gedit should have started.

Additional info:

gedit 2.0.2-5, all updates applicable to my system (kernel 2.4.18-18.8.0smp on a
dual AthlonMP, AMD 760MPX based mobo)
