Thanks much! As I explain at the end of this message, the problem is solved -- more or less. I followed the backtrace instructions.

It is part of the Debian package uim-gtk2.0, which is part of the uim multilingual keyboard input system (upgraded recently from version 1.3 to version 1.4). I tried dpkg --purge uim-gtk2.0, and gtk-gnutella started working again! Perhaps you can reproduce the bug by installing uim-gtk2.0 yourself. I do not know where the "fault" is; it could be in uim, of course, but I do not see similar problems in other gtk2 programs, so there could be a bug in gtk-gnutella as well.
