That is likely unrelated to this issue and you should open a new bug for
it.

I don't think so.  You would need to get a backtrace from your segfault
in order to prove your assertion.  My guess is that your assertion is in
fact false.

Why don't you just apt-get source the gtk package, and put the patch
into the debian/patches dir and dpkg-rebuild, like I did?  I don't
bother waiting for fixes for bugs in released versions of Ubuntu any
more.  More times than not, they don't come.

That was my comment.  I am not a (Ubuntu) developer.  The comment
however was in reference to the fact that Karmic has been out too long
now to hold out hope for bug fixes such as this one because most of the
developers have switched focus to Lucid now and don't bother with
Karmic.

Yeah.  It sucks for all of us who are currently running what Ubuntu
calls their "current stable release" (for whatever value you want to
give to stable), but that's just how this machine seems to operate.  We
all have to wait for Lucid now to get these sorts of bugs fixed which in
fact will be a trade for a whole new batch of bugs which we will have to
wait for the M* release (Melancholy Monkey?  :-) to fix.
