I'm sorry,
Indeed, this seems exatcly bug 1877774, with SIGSEGV occuring on st_theme_ensure_background.
In spite of that, I couldn't figure out if the bug has been solved since my system is already up-to-date.

Thank you for your attention and fast response,

> When trying to lock session, either through key combination or clicking 'lock' in the top right menu, gnome unexpectedly freezes. During the time it's freezed I can move the mouse freely, but everything stops (even the clock). After some time it seems to restart because it flashes and everything goes back to normal. After the crash if I try to relock it again it works, but if I try after that the cycle repeats.
