sound-juicer and rhythmbox were also crashing gail_tree code for me.
It was looking like it was running down a bad pointer (I think
I put some traces in an earlier message).

I really don't like the idea of saying this is due to something
deprecated and having basically all earlier Gnome binaries break -
then we need compatibility libraries adding, a bump in version
numbers of libraries and changed dependencies.
