[Bug 1053670] Re: nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast()

[Edward Donovan]

Iain, thanks so much for making this public.  Private master bugs are an
'orrible shackle, hopefully that won't happen, soon.

So, I added glib2.0 and libdbusmenu to the bug, and updated the
description.  It looks like the problem is in one of those, and probably
not in nautilus, which didn't change the day the bug appeared in
quantal.  So it might be most accurate to mark the nautilus component
'Invalid', but I'm afraid that could confuse people and perhaps lead
them to think this is not the bug they're looking for.  So I left that
alone.  Thanks.

  nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast()

Status in “libdbusmenu” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This problem happens randomly on ubuntu 12.10, as of the updates to
  quantal and quantal-proposed on September 20.  Nautilus did not change
  in these upgrades.  Glib and libdbusmenu did, and those libraries are
  both prominent in the stacktrace.  (I can't tell yet which is really
  the culprit, so, excuse my imprecision, I'm adding them both to the
  report.)
