I discovered this and was able to recover, and think gnome could do with a
fix.


You do sound a bit mysterious here :).
Apparently you discovered something, but don't tell what it is. Kudos for
capturing attention, but don't expect a fix for anything soon...

I put together a script to completely erase gnome from this system and for
the most part that script worked really well.  The exception was that it
also removed wpa_supplicant

I put wpa_supplicant back on the system using the install disk


Did your script also delete pacman's cache? Otherwise it would have been
there in /var/cache/pacman/pkg (from the top of my head).

[Sudo, xorg, segfault]

Okay, that's a sudden twist. The message starts with the subject of a Gnome
problem, continues on a removal script and ends with a question on a
sudo/xorg question.

With a little work, it could probably become a great forum or blogpost, but
for a technical mailinglist it's a bit too puzzling. We usually love to
puzzle out a solution for a *specific* problem.
In this case, I still don't know where the problem is, other then sudo or
xorg crashing. But perhaps it's just me...?
