Hi,

I'm using a slightly modified version of "Shiki-brave-theme". IIRC, it
comes from an alternate ubuntu repository (gnome-colors I think).

Hope this helps :)

could you run f-spot on a command line and copy the crash log there? do you get the issue using another theme?

After selecting the "Clearlooks" theme, f-spot works.

Moreover, after setting back my original theme, f-spot started to work
as normal.

Sounds strange to me...
