Unfortunately I am not able to reinstall the OS at this time.  I have
tried changing themes with no success.  I'll attach strace output in
case it helps. (And I'll post another comment with my gdb backtrace and
valgrind since I can't seem to attach more than 1 file at a time)  I
don't have the debug version of empathy so its hard to tell where the
poorly initialized data is coming from... I'm not in a huge hurry to get
empathy to work (since I can use pidgin in the meantime) so if any
developers are having a hard time reproducing the problem and would like
me to test anything further I'd be happy to do so.

I'm not familiar enough with gdb to be able to include this in the output, but 
using ddd I see that when the crash occurs type_instance->g_class = 0xce
pretty sure this is the dereference which causes the crash, not sure why/where 
this pointer gets set...
