Here is the result:

#40 0x80cd79b in R_gtk_terminal_new () at terminal.c:112
112       gtk_widget_show_all(R_gtk_main_window);
(gdb) p R_gnome_userprefs.font
$1 = (gchar *) 0x814cbf0 ""

Here is my R.gnome:

[Placement]
Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0

[Text]
textcolor=rgb:0000/0000/0000
bgcolor=rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff
font=

[Pager]
title_font=-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
title_textcolor=rgb:0000/0000/0000
title_bgcolor=rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff
text_font=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
em_font=-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
text_textcolor=rgb:0000/0000/0000
text_bgcolor=rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff

HA. The solution is often very simple. I should have thought of
looking here myself. Under [Text] there is no entry for font!
Enter a font and R.gnome works.

This means that it would also have worked with libglade-0.3-1.
Is this an ommision in configure/make/make install?

Thanks for taking the time to respond and the suggestions.
