I spent this morning on analyzing our application SIGSEGV'ing since having upgraded my os (openSuSE 13.1, KDE). Though this is actually no ubuntu, I think that this bug is related: IMHO with the symptoms that an eclipse RCP application fails

1) within libgobject-2.0.so./g_object_get_qdata
2) from a java stack trace that includes org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Combo.deregister

and switching the theme the GTK2_RC_FILES= way as given above prevents from crashing. Then I'm quite sure that you will be able to stop crashing also by
disabling the GtkComboBox::appears-as-list
within the oxygen-gtk theme (/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc).
This makes comboboxes appear a little bit different, but the general l&f stays as before.

You can force this bug with any other theme by enabling this option there - so the oxygen can only be blamed for using this option, it is not the root cause of it AFAIS at the moment,

I filed a related GNOME bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736323, an oxygen bug that looks related very much is available at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329814.
