Thanks for the heads-up on strace. Both sites result in segmentation
errors, it seems because of True Type fonts:
open("/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/zysong.ttf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
and a different font withthe google search for emacs.
I couldn't tell that there was a dependable fix at the bugzilla page,
and it seems that an attempt to fix it could result in not being able to
get logged in via Gnome -- and I definitely don't want to risk that!
If anyone has ideas that I could try, please post!
Thanks,
Clint
