Good idea. I tried that and found that of the applications which crash 
on me (gnome-terminal, gnome-panel, and others), they all produce 
similar error messages in common. Namely:

GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 
'ISO-8859-1' is not supported

And this:

(gnome-terminal:1601): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session 
manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

And this:

** ERROR **: Don't know how to read ISO-8859-1 data! aborting...
GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 
'ISO-8859-1' is not supported
(gnome_segv:1604): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to 
STRING: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' is not 
supported

Note, however, that Nautilus produces these same messages and yet 
somehow manages to run. However, it gives additional errors:

(nautilus:1631): Eel-CRITICAL **: file eel-glib-extensions.c: line 178 
(eel_strdup_strftime): assertion `converted != NULL' failed
 
As I mentioned in the original post, running any of these programs as 
the root user produces no output whatsoever, and the programs run 
perfectly. Does anybody have any ideas on what might be going on? Thanks,

Trevor
