Has anyone been able to get packages that rely on Gtk2 to run under Leopard?

I have experimented with the playwith package, as depending on a small number of packages additional to Gtk2. I can pretty consistently generate a bus error by attaching playwith, then printing a lattice object. Note that I have not run any functions from the playwith package.

The same may happen if I attach all the packages on which playwith depends (but not playwith itself), but the bus error does not appear with the same consistency.

Here is a transcript on a session:
