[users] Crash with conky on EL6

[Matt Thompson]

Hello all,

(I'm not sure if this is the correct location for discuss/submit bugs. I
tried searching the RPMforge page for a Bugzilla link or other, but this
list seemed to be the best bet. If not, please direct me to the correct
place.)

I've recently updated my desktop to RHEL6 from ye olde 5 and have found a
couple of packages from RPMforge that seem to crash.

This message is concerned with conky. When I try and run conky, I get a
crash, as in a full-on crash with backtrace. At first I thought perhaps my
.conkyrc was causing it (some bad setting that isn't in the EL6 version),

cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.0 (Santiago)

rpm -qa | grep -i conk

conky-1.6.1-1.el6.rf.i686

and when I run (no local .conkyrc):

http://pastebin.com/5AQgzsC9

When this crash occurs, ABRT is also triggered. The report it generates is:

http://pastebin.com/pnYVWFAV

I'll help as much as I can providing outputs, but this is a work desktop
that I'm not administrator of so response times might be slow at best.

Thank you,
Matt
