Comment:
AFAIK I'm not running any atk using program in the background (i.e.
gnopernicus or gok, they aren't even installed).

I had some issues w/ gnome-terminal earlier, but not seeing them at the
moment.

spotter at dent:~$ /opt/gaim/bin/gaim
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x085bba98 ***

this is cvs head gaim (I keep fairly up to date)  that I compiled on my
own.  Everything is from dapper besides gaim, which is installed in
/opt/gaim/

THOUGH, I just tried gdb in gaim again, and it gave the errors I'm
getting (gdb not liking thread creation/deletetion that happen rapidly,
which the gdb developers have claimed they've fixed, but haven't, and
it's not just an NPTL issue, as if i move /lib/tls away, it still
happens).  But while I left it hanging in gdb, I went off to do
something else, and that did hang gnome-terminal.  I then tried to open
a new gnome-terminal and that was hung as well.  i switched to console,
killall -9 gaim, that freed it up.

at-spi seems to have serious issues. :(
