gnome-session segfaults on ia64

Do you see this behaviour on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper) or Edgy?

If it is Edgy, can you check in the /var/crash folder to see if there is a dump for gnome-session? Thanks.

It's dapper.

I got a backtrace with gdb and saw something about libgconfd, so I
recompiled gconf2 with debugging symbols. Here is what I get from the
backtrace, now:

And compiling gnome-session with debugging symbols:

Ok. I've added. I also recompiled gnome-session without Xrandr support
and it not appears to work ok.

What does /desktop/gnome/screen/physlin101.physics.uiuc.edu/0/resolution contain?
