I see a bunch of similar bug reports:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bugs?field.searchtext=crash+save

Unfortunately, none of them look like anyone is looking at them.

That's this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/962469
It's on people's radar.

Please do report crashes, that's how people noticed the blueman-applet
