So what is the Darwin equivalent of valgrind and strace so we can isolate this problem with gnome? 

There is ktrace on darwin, I don't know how related or not those are.

Rumor has it they are equivalent. Not that its output has been useful to the folks at GNOME so far. 

Though I have no idea whether valgrind runs on darwin at all...

"There are experimental ppc32/darwin and x86/FreeBSD ports for Valgrind 2.X. They could be made to work with 3.X with some effort.

x86/darwin is a high priority; it would be great to have Valgrind running on Apple machines, as it would make Valgrind usable with a lot of new software (e.g. Microsoft Office for Mac!), more so than x86/BSD ports, for example. ppc32/darwin is now less interesting as those machines are being phased out."



Yes, I saw that. Does anyone know what valgrind does/how it works and if there is something similar in the Darwin/MacPorts toolchain? It doesn't build on Darwin as it requires a lot of integration with the kernel of the host system.
