I did have the same problem. I fix this.
I have edited file /home/ulises2k/.gtk-bookmarks and eliminated "odd" caracter. It is "ยบ". Automatically worked gedit, openoffice, etc. I have Ubuntu 8.04 update -- gedit crashed with SIGSEGV in gedit_language_manager_list_languages_sorted() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
