fc4 on x86_64, gtk2 weird behaviour

Hello All,

I'm fighting with FC4 trying to make it work on x86_64 (Turion) based laptop. Honestly saying there is a whole bunch of troubles so far. But I hope (still) to handle those.

Anyway here is the point. Something weird has happened to all gtk2-based applications. Whenever you try to open Open/Save dialog window the program just hangs and you have to kill it. If you run it as regular user there is no output to console, however running something (let's say gedit) from the root terminal seems to yield this:

# gedit
*** glibc detected *** gedit: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000009a7c80 ***


again application just hangs.

I have to say that, firefox (1.5) behaves a bit differently. It also gets stuck, but not always. Sometimes it works just fine for some reason.

The only thing I recall, one can blame on is that I've updated gnome to 2.12 from http://www.nrpms.net repository. But I'm not sure about that being a reason.

any suggestions?
