Well I did this exactly as outlined and it still segflts before playing any video. The GTK_CONFIG helped as now i've got the control panel to start correctly. I suspect my video card is crapping out, though, its possible that might be related to the problems that I'm having. I've got a new video card showing up in the mail in the next couple of days and I'll have to give that a try.
