gnome-session crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slist_prepend()

[Ugo Riboni]

Binary package hint: gnome-session

I'm on Natty, with the latest packages as the date of this bug report, running inside a Virtualbox VM (4.0.3)

$ apt-cache policy gnome-session
gnome-session:
  Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu15
  Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu15
  Version table:
 *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu15 0
        500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I pressed Alt+TAB to go to another application and I got the crash. I don't know if it's related or if it's just a coincidence the crash happened at the same time as I was doing that.
