Hey Sean,
thanks for jumping in and helping out! this actually helped a lot to
narrow the problem down..
if i try what you suggested then soft starts up (very slowly) and gets
past the splashscreen, opens the netview and then segfaults the moment
the ogl-viewports are drawn.
disabling the ogl-viewports (via this description ->
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=14691242&linkID=12544120)
lets me fully start softimage, it takes ages and i can't do a thing
without ogl-views, but there are no segfaults and no freezing.. so
that's a partial success, i guess :)
interestingly enough, if if just disable the the ogl-viewports without
removing the x11-patch then soft freezes up right after the splashscreen
again..
here is the end of the segfault-strace, i can provide the full log
(which is over 17megs) if necessary...

> Are you still stuck at the problem where once you start XSI it shows the splashscreen and then hangs? If so then you can try removing the X11 patch by editing the " ${MWHOME}/scripts/.mwenv" file and looking for the x11patch line. There you should see where it checks for various fedora versions and sets the x11patch for fc14. You could temporarily comment that line (should be line 17) and then source the .xsi??? file again. This will remove that X11 patch folder from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now see if XSI starts up correctly.
