Hi Estel,
do you mean run it like this?
unset GTK2_RC_FILES && blender

try it, still got the same error.

@everyone else,
hm....so blender is not usable? d*mn
although to "wow" people is one of my motivation, but if it is not usable what the point of installing blender?
*sigh*
d*mn you nokia, why can't you put 1gb ram on n900?
*sigh*
