it seems that there is a race condition or a threading synchronization issue in gecko 6. I don't get it why is not loading /usr/lib/libcanberra.so.0. That's why it cannot find the symbol.

Care to report this to mozilla? Same thing happens on thunderbird

I have the same problem in other gtk application like thunderbird, smplayer, etc.

This solve:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so

What is wrong? Some adittions config is necessari for gtk2 in gnome3?

The problem seems to be with the gnutls package - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=979112

that workaround is totally stupid.

Solution propost in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=979112 not work for me.

I guess the problem is caused by the simultaneous use of gtk2 and gtk3. For some reason the gtk2-based programs can not properly load the gtk2 libraries.

My install is very old (2007). Pheraps, some old config cause the bug.

I've downgraded gnutls and that helps. Don't know how is this connected to this bug though.
Comment by Marcos Alves Pintar (mapintar) - Saturday, 01 October 2011, 22:54 GMT
I deleted all the gnome configuration files, since the session did not start in the new version, and the problem was finally resolved.
