I don't know about that. I don't see anything in cells-gtk that contains the 
string pthread.  Perhaps one of the other glib libraries is referencing this 
symbol and it isn't in libgthread-2.0.so ??? nm doesn't print anything (not 
that I'm very adept with it...). But using emacs, I can see a string 
pthread_attr_destroy in libgthread. You can run other glib apps, right?

I'll look deeper tomorrow maybe, but I've gotta put my son to bed (Beijing 
time).
