I can report that the above proposed fix does work. However, when I do get to the desktop it freezes up, so that I only can move around the pointer but nothing responds. Will I have to give up on the Lynx as well, just like Karmic?
Hopefully someone will take the glib-warning problem to heart and sort it out within two weeks. There are more than 2000 views on one of the related forum threads! A few hundred more on some other threads. There will be quite a few aspirant ubuntu users chucking the LiveCD in the trash can and going back to MS in about two weeks time if this is not solved.
