Comment 16 for bug 83922

I'm running the "generic" (386) version under Gutsy and see the same problem, more or less. I see all the same stuff about gslice. In my case I have 2 accounts. I don't use gdesklets but the other account does. On my account I can run the daemon just fine since I have no gdesklets to load. I can "Manage" my desklets (bring up the dialogs that list them) but it crashes as soon as I try to add one. On the other account which had two until the other day's updates "broke" it, it can't launch the daemon because it crashes as soon as it tries to load them.

It mentions some mismatch in python...

Here's me starting the daemon (with no desklets defined):
$ gdesklets

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [21699]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...

Once it's running, I can copy the Log with "View Log":
