libart-lgpl no longer is maintained upstream and needs several patches to avoid crashing some apps. The version of libarts provided by the Trinity Project includes those patches and is intended to be a replacement for any version of libarts currently installed by any distro. Build this patched version of libart and replace the stock libart installed with the distro.
Do you have a reference about it no longer being maintained? The most recent version is 2.3.21 from April 2010. That's not really old. Prior versions and dates are:
2.3.20 30-Jan-2008 2.3.19 28-Feb-2007
so it's not updated often, but it still gets updated occasionally.
One example of many: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155472#c4
Can you give me a pointer to the patches you mention? I can't find libart-lgpl in git.
Here it is in GIT: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/libart-lgpl/log/
And here is a combination of all of the patches: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/libart-lgpl/diff/?id=150562b89b645c402f1b...
