Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fallback icon theme is set to gnome by default with latest revisions of GTK now. This had been switched to hicolor for a few releases.

works fine for me

The segfault problem is due to gnome-system-monitor being unable to find icons that it uses in its process list and filesystems displays. I altered the gnome-system-monitor code to check for an icon being NULL before using it, and this stops the segfault, but many icons are missing in the displays.

This would appear to be a configuration problem. I fixed it by editing etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, to read as follows:

gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "gnome"

It used to say "hicolor", but most of the icons needed by gnome-system-monitor are not in that directory.

The odd thing about this problem is that it comes and goes as Arch is updated. I think there may be some other gtk configuration that sets the icon search path, and maybe this is being altered by various updates.
