Nautilus crashes due to libdbusmenu-gtk3-4

[Brandon Snider]

Note: I am using Gnome-Shell, not Unity.

When I open Nautilus, I get many repeated error messages:

 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

I ran: G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals gdb --args nautilus
It crashes immediately with: Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. 0x00007ffff4445313 in g_logv () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0

The backtrace is:

Thank you for your bug report, could you get a stacktrace with debug packages for glib gtk and libdbusmenu installed?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the warning in fact seems to be bug #870742, but your title is misleading if that's only a warning...
