On next reboot/restart, I got the kdesktop.kcrash (attached). So then I downgraded glibc (2.13-4 -> 2.13-3), restarted Trinity -> perfect No kdesktop,kcrash. It looks like this is a glibc issue, so I'll follow up (below) with Arch to make sure it looks like glibc and not a package issue. Thanks for your help.

No, seriously... glibc 2.13-4 introduced a patch from the Fedora glibc branch that is not included in mainline glibc and fixes issues with prelink [1]. Obviously, this has some side effects. Seems like it requires some more investigation.
That patch has been in mainline glibc for a couple of days now and is running on Fedora, Gentoo, ...

Any ideas on the x86_64 kdesktop crash that happens with glibc 2.13-4 but is absent with 2.13-3? Any reason to try recompiling glibc without glibc-2.13-prelink.patch - or - will that just give me 2.13-3?
That prelink patch is very, very unlikely to cause the issue. It was also the only change between 2.13-3 and 2.13-4... As I pointed out, there are other distros using that patch without reported issue and it is now in glibc mainline so nothing is obviously wrong with it. Also, I have had no other crash reports since this update... I just looked back through this thread and your backtraces are all over the place. First it was an issue with libxcb, and then on a different VM it is somewhere completely different. What is difference across your VMs that you get consistent crashes in one but not the other? Allan
