Some more notes about this:

  - This only happens if the "Crux" theme is used, other themes are 
    running fine. 
  - I double- und triple-checked, that I longer have packages from 
    blastwave/unstable on my machine, everything is from blastwave/stable.
  - Starting the gnome-themes-manager in a terminal I get     
    (gnome-theme-manager:10403): Gtk-WARNING **: ld.so.1: 
    gnome-theme-manager: fatal: relocation error: 
    file /opt/csw/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libsmooth.so: 
    symbol __sincos: referenced symbol not found

    So there seem to be some problems with the stable gnome version, too.

Regards, Meik

PS: Why are all the packages, even the packages from unstable, without
debugging symbols?
