Upon investigating further, I came to the conclusion that all these problems are caused by bonobo-activation using various linc_ functions. Since bonobo-activation was integrated into libbonobo in GNOME 2.4 this problem is not evident if GNOME 2.4 is built from scratch. Now, the solution that I propose for Debian is to change all instances of calling linc_ functions in bonobo-activation to link_ (the name of the internalized linc functions in ORBit 2.8) and rebuild bonobo-activation against ORBit 2.8. I will try to do this and provide a patch for bonobo-activation if it works. - Sebastian
