Any ideas? Did you recently update arts to 1.5.0? I had similar issues with gltron, bzflag, and a few other SDL apps from Extras that didn't like it. As root, run `rpm -e --nodeps arts` to remove arts. It's a very dirty kludge though, as Livna's xine and mplayer builds depend on arts, so they will not function when arts is removed (can't load some arts libraries).
