evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_set()

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Binary package hint: evolution

When running under Unity, evolution will sometimes crash, not always with an obvious trigger.

This particular crash was triggered by hitting the “Reply” button on an email. The compose window came up, but none of the window contents were rendered - it was an entirely blank grey window. At this point the whole UI was blocked - neither the compose window nor the main Evolution mail window responded, and eventually crashed.

I suspect appmenu, given its appearance in the stacktrace.

I've only attached the reduced report because (a) I've got almost all the relevant dbgsym packages installed, and (b) Launchpad doesn't accept 850MB core dumps.
