Yes, gtk based apps run. gconf-editor also runs, although it finds
nothing since gconfd is not running.

The failure seems to hit right as Gnome starts. I never see a splash
or anything else. I have fired off gnome-session with truss and I am
looking through it now. At the same time I am doing a portupgrade on
gnomesession and all dependencies. (Probably a waste of time, but it
seems worth a shot.)

FWIW, __thr_jtable is shown a undefined in libc_r.so on both working
and non-working CURRENT systems.
