Just curious. When sylpheed segfaults, do you get a core dump?
You could also run it from within gdb and then when it segfaults you
will be able to see where (using 'whence' command).
Recompile with -g option (also link with -g). Then in a window, do
$ gdb sylpheed
you'll get the gdb info, and then the > prompt. At the prompt, do:
> run
And it'll be off and running until such time that it segfaults.
