could you please get a backtrace?  kill the running instance and use gdb
like so:

$ gdb xfce-mcs-manager
[...]
(gdb) r --no-daemon-debug
[...]
[crashes]
(gdb) bt
[prints backtrace]

sorry, I tried but looks like I didn't compile it with debug symbols, and
now it won't compile for an odd reason.

Danny, I'll leave it to you whether we can close this or not.

I'm now compiling XFCE from CVS with the --enable-debug option. I will take
a backtrace once I'm done and will post it here.

Sorry for the great delay.

Here's the long awaited backtrace:

now that looks baad. And this happens on opening the sound settings dialog
? (I ask to be sure since the backtrace lists __finalize which is supposed
to be called when the object is done)

Could you try with --enable-debug=full too ?

I think this would give us even line numbers to look for and hence
simplify the discovery of the offending code :)

Thanks
