I’m desperate.
Almost every post I send via nntp, my thunderbird crashes. And I use
these forums via nntp, so that’s a lot of crashes.
I have sent 69 automated reports upstream, nobody does a thing.
I have a bugzilla opened
(Bugzilla
#825339) They say that is is some other library, libgdk-x11 the
culprit. I don’t care, it is Thunderbird that crashes.
I have supplied a gdb backtrace.
I have supplied an strace.
And still I get no solution! :-/
Can somebody do something, please?

What exactly would anyone here be able to do, do you imagine?
If the problem is in the libgtk-x11, then either you need a newer or
older version of that library, and/or you need to report a bug on that
library…

I don’t know!
Maybe some one knows something that can be done that I don’t know about.

I don’t have any package of that name installed. What I have is
libgdk_pixbuf-2_0-0-2.26.5-3.1.1.x86_64, and it has not been updated, it
is the same as on release time.
Or you mean this:
Telcontar:~ # rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgtk-2_0-0-32bit-2.24.18-2.4.2.x86_64
Telcontar:~ #
This one has a previous version. Downgrading immediately!
Telcontar:~ # rpm -qa | grep libgtk-2
libgtk-2_0-0-2.24.14-2.1.1.x86_64
libgtk-2_0-0-debuginfo-2.24.14-2.1.1.x86_64
libgtk-2_0-0-32bit-2.24.14-2.1.1.x86_64

It looks as if you posted that with nntp, so I guess things improved.
Otherwise, you could try installing “knode” as an alternative nntp client.
The last time that I used it was back with opensuse 11.0.

Indeed 
I have posted 10 times since I downgraded that library, no more crashes.

Yes, i was thinking of doing something of the sort, but Thunderbid,
although lacking on some things, has the set of features that most
approaches what I want. I mean, I have tested several programs, all of
them have things I want, and all do things I do not want. The one with
the best set is Thunderbird, but… those crashes were maddening.
