I got the same problem, with the same workaround, today just after
upgrading Mozilla Firefox to v18.0. I had a hard time solving the
problem.
Symptoms:
* Anything linked to libgio-2.0 do segfault.
* cannot login using xfce4-session or gnome-session
* dbus not working either
* using xinit and then opera, I could still use internet!
Workaround:
rm ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache
Log:
$ cat /var/log/kern.log | tail -1

Bug description:
Hi! I'll post same info posted on Ubuntu Forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219305
Recently I've updated to latest kernel 2.6.28-14-generic i686 in my
Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 32-bit system.
I use kde4 4.3 RC and in the latest days I've been suffering of
massive core dumping due to 'segmentation fault' my applications that
depend on Gnome libs.
My thunderbird can't even save an attachment, it just cores dump
I've tried gedit from console, it cores dump even before starting!
Here is the backtrace of gdb on gedit behavior:
[CODE]
(gdb) bt

[/CODE]
As you can see something in libgio-2.0.so is wrong. Maybe some new bug
due to latest kernel patch (that nasty bug on NULL pointers stuff).
Interesting part:
if open gedit with gksudo it just works witout any core dump!
$ gksudo gedit
Any help?
Thanks and regards!
