Comment (by WyoPBS):

 I can confirm that the same problem occurs with and without dbus compiled
 in.  I encountered it first with dbus enabled, then reconfigured with
 --disable-dbus and recompiled.

 I can't speak for the other participants in this discussion but my system
 is definitely not Ubuntu; it's Linux From Scratch built entirely from
 source.  As noted previously, I built it with gtk+ 2.10.3 and gnome
 2.16.0.  This is absolutely not a dbus issue.

 I did not specify whether to include gstreamer, so I assume (since the
 autodetect feature of configure found it) that was included by default.

 That said, also note that I previously mentioned gaim 1.5.0 built on
 exactly this same platform with exactly the same configure options will
 transfer files without error.  If an identical build environment will
 produce a working file open dialogue in 1.5.0 and a crashing dialogue in
 2.0.0, that suggests a change in the way the gaim/pidgin source implements
 the file open dialogue.

 Of course the fact that other users are able to open/transfer files
 without error makes isolation of the problem more difficult.  I would be
 interested in seeing the platform specifications (kernel/gtk/gaim/gcc
 versions) and build configuration options of a successful build - that is,
 one that does not segfault on the open file dialogue.
