I’ve seen something like this before, but *only* on i686 machines.  I
never managed to figure out why.

Can we be sure that this is not due to stale configuration files?  (This
is a medium-sized problem affecting a number of packages that won’t go
away soon.)

One of the GNOME update branches (for 2.28?) has already been merged
into staging.  There are rumours of crashes, though, so this will
require testing by more people.

The other GNOME upgrade that I worked on months ago still awaits a
rebase onto staging.  I’ll try to get it into good shape to have the
build farm build it out, so that more people can test it and provide
fixes where needed.
