I use addons extensively and I tracked mine down to a Theme instead of
an addon. If I had Black X installed any time I tried to open
Preferences or any other window it'd just crash with a seg fault.  BUT
this only happened AFTER I installed the new RealPlayer app from
Helix. Before I installed that everything was working fine.

I've removed Black X and haven't had a problem since.
