So what is the Darwin equivalent of valgrind and strace so we can isolate this problem with gnome?
Though I have no idea whether valgrind runs on darwin at all...
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."
