I just add here that I had a similar issue, which I *thought* I was able
to track down to a broken gtk2 package. And since I use xfce4 stuff
segfaulted when I tried to bring up X. I the used openbox (which uses
pango but not gt2) and that was fine until I tried packages that depend
on gtk2 -> segfaults again. I rebuild gtk2, pacman -U <gtk-package> and
it worked.
However, a day later I pacman -U <downloaded, supposedly bad package
from package cache> and all still worked. I opened a bug, but sinmce I
can't reproduce it I dunno really what happened. Istill think though
that something in the xorg,gtk2 and companions update was borked, I have
no idea what though, but I think it's unrelated to graphic drivers.
