So I think we can rule out desktop-file-utils. Brasero, Gimp, and 
Firefox depend on this and they work. I'm not sure if libnotify and 
libwebkit should be suspect either at this point because I've discovered 
that soffice and gnome-settings-daemon do this as well now.

Did that.

Did that.

I'm out of ideas too, because they still segfault. Crap.

I guess I could reinstall the system, but doesn't seem like the way to 
go here. I have X working with wmii. I just have nasty looking window 
decorations and random productivity Applications that don't work.

Is there a way to de-install everything that's NOT in base? I looked 
around for this, and will I could certainly create a command line chain 
for it something like "pacman -R --all !base"  would be nice
