Looking at the Xorg logs, it may be this is pthread related.

My system is using LPTM 2.x (or something like that)

Gimp and Inkscape possibly looking for pthreads 0.10 or similar.

I tried forcing pthreads to old behaviour with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL or
something, but to no avail. It stated it could not find any libraries,
but they were all there, in multiple places.

Managed to break my Xubuntu install, so this is my last post for quite a while.
