Further clues: gnome-terminal and gthumb don't run, they hang before drawing
the window. Maybe a library they share is hosed? Lemme try the other
binaries in the XFCE menu to see which ones successfully draw a window ...
OK, everything accessible from the menu works except for:

gnome-terminal
gthumb
xawtv

It seems they all three share linux-vdso.so.1 . How can I find out if
anything else uses that library? ldd everything | grep?
