glib 2.18 instability

["Jared D. McNeill" <jmcneill%invisible.ca@localhost>]

Hey folks --

Ever since updating to glib 2.18 on multiple machines, GTK/GNOME 
applications have been flaky, to say the least. I've seen it on both 
upgraded and fresh installations, both with native xorg and pkgsrc xorg.

Is anybody else seeing these issues? Since pkgsrc is in freeze in 
preparation for 2008Q3, maybe it makes sense to rollback to 2.16.x which 
was working very well for us, and look at 2.18 again after the branch 
when we can upgrade gtk and gnome to 2.24 all in one shot.

Cheers,
Jared
