unity crashed on session::view::Populate

[Reiner Jung]

I am not sure when this crash happened. However, when shutting down, the shutdown/restart dialog took ages to appear and the actual shutdown also took ages to start. I could not observe this behavior with 13.04 so I assume it is a bug and it might be the trigger for the crash.
