Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465421

Thanks for your bug report. A new version of the package has been uploaded, could you try if you still get the issue and attach a new crash file if that's the case?

I have not been able to reproduce this crash on a Gutsy machine I updated yesterday, 8-21-07. I fiddled around in gnome-appearance-properties for quite some time, systematically changing various settings on each page. The only inconsistency I noticed is that the thumbnail representation of the desktop image I have selected is wrong, the size is nowhere near correct.

It was probably due to some custom themes I grabbed from gnome-look.org.
I have not seen this bug again however, perhaps a random fluke?
Thank You.

In that case, unless you can provide the theme package you believe was at the root of the problem, I'm going to close this as "invalid". If you can attach that here, please change the status back to unconfirmed.
