Having the same bug at startup, I saw on a duplicate that you need a backtrace so I tried to have one but I don't think it worked : the program did'nt seens to crash again.
Not being sure (I'm not english speaker and I'm a newbee in bug tracking), I prefer send you my log anyway : You'll better known if it is usefull.

So Here is what I get :

I completely forgot about that, anyway it seems not to crash anymore.

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

This still occurs for me as soon as I log in.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 32bit with all packages up to date (as of April 18, 2011).
