Details

When I try to edit Gnome 2.14 application configs using gconf-editor, it becomes completely unresponsive, and must be killed. Here's what I get running from the terminal:

(gconf-editor:2509): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(gconf-editor:2509): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x081ba170 ***

The "locale not supported" messages occur on startup, and are probably related to the business with the current glibc package and locales. The triple-starred one about "double free or corruption" occurs at the exact same time that the freeze happens.

(I'm not sure, but FWIW I think I've heard of bugs like this on the forums, though that would have been a while ago.)
This task depends upon

This happens also with correctly configured locales. It happens when you flip a checkbox to a different value.
