Actually, gxine will normally be fine in that case; the only configuration
which is being done is an update of its menu file. But it's xine-list-1.1 in
which I'm interested, since it's that which is segfaulting (and with
libxine1-dbg installed, you have debug data for it as well as the library and
its plugins).

That segfault is suspicious; it's pointing the finger at libxine1* or a
library on which the libraries contained therein depend. It looks like an
attempt to call a function through an uninitialised function pointer, so a
full backtrace is still needed.

(I still can't get it to segfault here...)
