Comment 8 for bug 929713

Description of problem:
After installing 2.14.89025, I was seeing lots of weird issues - programs trying to talk to pulseaudio would hang, firefox was wedged and flickering the X cursor between 2 different cursors, some other weird stuff.

Caught this in gdb of /usr/bin/pidgin hung during startup:

(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C

Reverting to 2.14.90-23 and everything started working normally again - pidgin, pulseaudio, firefox, etc.

Am willing to add instrumentation and re-test if somebody tells me what they want tried.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
