Binary package hint: f-spot

I reported this over at the Gnome bug tracker. Here is my report:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560265
(I have also pasted my original report below.)

I am posting this here because, after looking at some of the recent changes to f-spot in Ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot), I am wondering if this crash may be caused by one of the recent updates. The preferences window worked when I first installed Ubuntu (shortly after 8.10 release), and stopped after the most recent update came down. (I cannot say for sure that the update caused the problem, but I can say that the preferences window started crashing after the update and I haven't done much else in f-spot that I think would cause a problem.

Here is my original report:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open f-spot.
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences.
3. Boom!

Stack trace (from terminal output):

the exception.
