Summary: segfault at start of xfce4 => segfault in libupower-glib.so.2.0.0 at start of xfce4
See Also: (none) => https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10918
It's because of xfce4-settings needs to be ported to new Upower API. Added a patch from upstream bugzilla some time ago which at least fixed this for me, but seems it's not the case for everyone.
BTW, it would be interesting to know whether the affected machines are laptops or desktops.
I see it on my Cauldron desktop and in my Cauldron laptop.
I installed preMageia5a1 classical DVD on the same laptop where I saw this before, and it occurred again. However, I don't have this segfault on a 32bits XFCE that was installed today with the pre-5a1 dual iso. In the first laptop icons disappear, but lists to choose from in our tools do correctly highlight whether you selected an item. On the second laptop, icons don't disappear, but the lists are in white letters on a black background, and you there is no highlight for what is selected Both have use the gtk-oxygen theme, but the black lists don't look like oxygen at all. Do you want a separate bug report for the black lists that don't show highlights?
Just did an M5A1 install 32 bits and the segfault does happen here.
Whiteboard: (none) => 5alpha1
Forgot to mention that I've only seen it in installs where I had installed every avaiable DE and where KDM was the display manager. The install from the dual iso where there was *no* segfault (but black lists that don't show highlights), was XFCE only, with lightdm.

Hardware: x86_64 => All
Added patch from upstream bugzilla which fixes the issue at least for me. Please test new xfce4-settings 4.11.2 %mkrel 4.

Confirming Marja's findings. On desktop and laptop when restarting xfce4. Thanks Jani.
