This new version seems to crash all the time.
Steps to reproduce a crash (without apport popping up)

Method 1
  1. open an item
  2. open another item
  3. CRASH

Method 2
 1. open summery
 2. CRASH

Method 3
  1. open display item
  2. CRASH

Method 4
  1. open some item that requires scrollbars
  2. scroll

I've attached example output in the terminal, because apport doesn't launch.
Do you need the core-dump as well?

Interesting side-node: generating the report works, so its not the gathering of information that is causing this!
