Public bug reported:
After upgrading karmic to lucid, I booted into a gdm screen with no
login controls. I was able to switch virtual terminals, and exchanged
gdm for xdm, which allowed me to log in graphically. However, all gtk+
apps would segfault on run, which left me with no window manager,
panels, menus, or anything else.
I tried installing kubuntu-desktop, only to find that all kde apps were
dying exactly the same way.
Most of the time, there was no dmesg or X log messages which said how
everything was crashing, but one time I saw it logged in dmesg. All the
segfaults were in libgraphite, from window manager to applications. I
removed pango-graphite via aptitude, and suddenly everything started
working again.
