Pgadmin3 (postgresql administrator GUI, I presume GTK+ program)

My home desktop has been upgraded, probably since FC-4 or FC-5 and now
on F9

If I launch Pgadmin3, it sticks at the splash screen and never
progresses and I can only kill it. It upgraded a month ago or so, same
thing.

I have removed the rpm and re-installed (both the one from F9-base and
F9-updates) but either way, same issue.

Obligatory question: Have you tried it with a fresh user account,
too?

I asked the list and others report having no problems running
pgadmin-i386.

If I launch (as user or even as root), it hangs the same way, with nary
anything to standard error or standard out.

I can't strace it because by the time I launch it, get the pid and try
to strace it, it's already hung.

You can launch it via strace: strace pgadmin3

Ruling out that damaged packages cause this is one thing to do, too.
"rpm -Va" should not report any damaged files.

Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot it?

debuginfo-install -y pgadmin3

then run it, attach gdb to it (gdb -p $PID) and backtrace it,
"thr app a bt" (means "thread apply all backtrace"). That could
help with finding out where it waits.

I didn't know that I could simultaneously launch strace with the
program...that was helpful. I had run the rpm 'verify' but that was
never the issue.

It appears that the problem I had was that there are some splash screens
that are awaiting input but they never do show up on F9/KDE but I could
just hit enter a few times to satisfy the unseen dialog boxes and then
it would run.

Anyone else running Fedora 9, KDE and pgadmin3 - do they have the same
issue?
