Public bug reported:

Thunar segfaults immediately when run on a G4 (PowerPC) Mac Mini.
xfdesktop crashes almost as quickly (I had to click on a desktop icon).

Here's my adventures with this bug:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977120

I did an "apt-get source" in order to debug the problem but found that
after I'd rebuilt Thunar with dpkg-buildpackage, it worked fine. I then
rebuilt xfdesktop4 with the same results.

I eventually built working packages for everyone:

...but it would be better if these packages were just rebuilt and distributed 
via "apt-get upgrade".

I have tried comparing the working and non-working binaries and it looks
to me like there might have been an incorrect version of a library when
they were built - possibly libglib. See my comments in the forum about
it - it may be a good idea to discover what happened because perhaps
other packages should also be rebuilt.
