OK, finally I made it. Somehow gdb does not run at all with my user. I 
needed to use a second user and copied ~olduser/.gconf*  to the new 
users home.

Then I could reproduce it with a working gdb. Here the bt:


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hope it helps. If you need the gconf files I think I can send them to 
you. Don't know if there is actually something private in it???
