This is dangerous. Maybe Boris needs to add some compat libs, or we  
need to install a new google earth (one which uses the new expat  
version).

My first idea about this is, that this should be a problem with your  
native installation of X.org. But on a second thought it may be a  
problem in the linux-font* area.

What's your locale (echo $LANG)? We may have to add some symlinks from  
the FreeBSD names to the linux names (or maybe something more  
advanced, if the linux locale system needs more stuff to have it right).

The same as above.

Maybe some more gtk2 plugins/engines/whatever are needed (I assume  
Boris runs the gdk plugin register stuff like we do in the old gtk2  
port).

Application internal error. Maybe the result of not handling the xom  
not supported error.

Bye,
