This now only occurs when I attempt to open the settings applet through the menu or with Alt+F2. device- settings from a normal commandline also causes the segfault. device- settings from a (root) commandline opens the applet normally without the segfault.

It appears either the menu settings are forgetting to call a gksudo, or the code that checks for superuser rights is buggy.
As the application can still be used by prepending a gksudo or running it from root this is not a critical bug, however it is rather annoying that you can't use the menu link.
Thanks!
