xfce 4.2 Fedora Core 2 problem

[Brian J. Tarricone]

sorry, but that's not too useful.  i need the actual backtrace (type 
'bt' at the gdb prompt after it crashes).  also, it would be very 
helpful if you were to recompile xfdesktop passing --enable-debug=yes to 
configure.

thanks,
brian

p.s. "Error while mapping shared library sections: : Success. "  <-- 
that has to be my favorite non-error error message ever ^_~.
