gimp-2.6 crashed with SIGSEGV in _gtk_search_engine_tracker_new()

[LarryGrover]

Binary package hint: gimp

Gimp crashed when I tried to do "save as" (File menu -> save as).

I have a similar bug seems to be affecting OpenOffice (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/558437) and gnumeric (no bug report filed). I think this may be a bug in gtk or gnome, not necessarily gimp (or openoffice, or gnumeric), since the same operation ("save as") triggers an immediate crash in all three programs.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue?
