I saw that one of the backtraces mentioned icons, so I figured I'd try if this bug was present for some icon sets but not others. Seems like that's the case. I don't know where to start on debugging the icon sets to find out in more detail of this problem, but I can make the steps to reproduce more specific:

1. Switch to one of the following icon themes: Tango, Gartoon, Rodent, Aqua-Glade_PNG, BlankOn, Gorilla or nuoveXT.2.2,
2. Open gnome-system-monitor (terminal is not yet open)
3. Switch to processes tab
4. Open gnome-terminal

Note that none of these is installed on an Ubuntu default install. Tango, Rodent and Gartoon are in Ubuntu's repository and were installed that way. Most probably, the others were downloaded off art.gnome.org, gnome-look.org or a similar site. Tango is: http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1150. I assume this problem is somehow related to gnome-system-monitor crashing on some conditions when icons are not found or broke.

Attached is an ls -lR on /usr/share/icons.
