This is a GTK bug. I'm able to reproduce similar symptoms when opening/clolsing GTK apps on an installed system using at-spi2 and Orca. Downgrading GTK3 to 3.16 fixes things so far as no segfaulting goes.

I believe commit 5debed5ae247c1dd440cb71d0a6d328df74b0844. is the commit responsible. I tested the quantal GTK package with this commit reverted, and all behaves properly. Taking this upstream.

Attached is a patch that fixes the issue from upstream, I think this is important for beta 2, as iti breaks accessibility in the installer.
