Mousepad stopped working

I'm using XFCE 4.8 on a fully updated F 14 box.  As of recently, mousepad's stopped working.  No matter what I do, it opens for one or two seconds and closes.  Running it from a terminal gives me this:

[joe@khorlia Desktop]$ mousepad
**
Gtk:ERROR:gtkrecentmanager.c:1942:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL)
Aborted
[joe@khorlia Desktop]$

Suggestions, advice or requests for more info will be gratefully received.  I've migrated from Gnome and would rather use the XFCE native programs where applicable.
