I can confirm this. I had made the qtconfig change way back when
another qt update caused all qt apps to crash when using gnome. Now it
crashes anytime I'm using gnome which is my preferred WM. I did
finally get it to work by running a vnc session in xfce and then
starting qgis as root in that vnc. Running as root in gnome crashes
for me. I'm going to try the latest svn soon I'm using a personally
build 1.4 qgis rpms now.

Thanks for the additional info. Please report back when you compile the
svn version (Didn't help me :-( )

Any ideas where to report this problem to Gnome/Qt devs?

I opened a ticket on Redhat's bugzilla system [1], and immediately got
a reply that the bug is a duplicate of a similar Gnome bug [2] from
nearly a year ago.
<br>
While the results seem similar, I doubt it's the same bug as all
library versions have bumped up since then.
<br>
But I'll try the patch suggested [3] to gdal (!) to see if it helps.

<font size="+1">Well, surprise, surprise. This segfault problem does
indeed seem to be an old GDAL bug that has somehow resurfaced!<br>
I made the small change suggested in the above bugzilla report
(id=498111). It's a minor change to the configure.in script. I wiped
the whole source directory of gdal, applied the suggested change, then
./configure; make; sudo make install.<br>
Then I rebuilt qgis and presto it worked!<br>
<br>
Why this problem cropped up now and not earlier? only <enter your
favorite deity> knows...<br>
