java/vlc/skype killed by SIGSEGV on fedora fc20

I came across a strange behaviour in FC 20 for java, skype, vlc etc that they seemed to crash with a error log, "<something> crashed" and "<something>" killed by SIGSEGV".

After many attempts to look for the solution, I came across this post. The answer just worked for me, tried to up-vote the answer but seemed like I don't have enough reputation for stackoverflow, hence writing the bit here.

Anyway the solution, though strange it may sound, the package google-talkplugin is faulty. Removing it, makes life easier.
yum remove google-talkplugin
If this solution works for you as well, please do let me know in comments.
