Tomas,
Aha! thanks. It seems this is the thread I shoud have followed[0].
I currently have:
gtk3-3.10.2-1
pulseaudio-4.0-5
libpulse-4.0-5
I reverted pulseaudio and libpulse to 4.0-2 (as far as i know, the previous
release):
# I had the old packages there from when I last updated
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -U libpulse-4.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
pulseaudio-4.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
I *didn't* revert gtk3 since the previous version was 3.10.1-1, and
according to this bug report[1] that causes a segfault when you click on
the activities button, which was fixed in 3.10.2-1.
All working now!
cheers,
Amy
