Bug Description

Binary package hint: quodlibet

QuodLibet is crashing all the time, sometimes I can't even listen to a single track. When starting it I get the following message:
***MEMORY-WARNING***: quodlibet[6935]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...

(note that I get this warning when I start thunderbird, quodlibet, pidgin and I have them with gnome-session, gconf-sanity-check-2, metacity and gconftool-2 in the ~/.xsession-errors but only quodlibet seems to crash. Not sure if it's a quodlibet-only problen, though)

gdb backtrace is attached, valgrind is in progress.
$ LC_ALL=c apt-cache policy quodlibet

A lot of application have this error; I guess it's a glib issue

I'll mark this one as fixed since it worked without crashing for about one week.
