Hi,
The
"Speicherzugriffsfehler" is the major problem, I see a lot of those
Glib-GObject WARNINGs when I run various things from the terminal.
So, now for my questions...
Have you changed anything major recently, or installed any proprietary
video drivers?
I have had random programs stop working once I installed a proprietary
video driver, because it renamed certain linked libraries (or deleted them).
What tweaking have you done recently?  Did you edit any files that
required sudo?

You can always try
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge synaptic && sudo apt-get install synaptic

This removes (and purges the configuration) synaptic, and reinstalls it.
