Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have similar SIGSEGV in 14.04 when I try to turn off zeitgeist plugin in preferences.

[Bjoern Huepping (u-bjoern)]

I get the following output when trying to disable the zeitgeist dataprovider plugin:

(gedit:4152): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'GObject'
