OK, I'm not having any problems with "ico -threads 10" with the PPA.

BUT: Is there any reason to believe that the problems with ico are the
same as this bug?  As far as I can tell, the problem here is that Python
programs using X which execute a fork reliably throw a specific
assertion error.   (I'm guessing about the details of apport-kde, but
this seems to be the pattern with Gasp and my test case.  Please correct
me if I'm wrong.)  Meanwhile, one drive-by commenter mentioned that "ico
-threads 10" will occasionally produce this error.  The fact that the
PPA has fixed "ico" and not the Python problems suggests to me that
these are not the same bug.  It may be that the "unrelated bug in Lucid
with python, glib and forking" is very much relevant here (though this
bug also occurs in Karmic).
