Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at:
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629159 .

Is there any chance to get a more complete backtrace in case the nautilus developers ask for it? please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash to known how to do it and make sure you have libgtk2, libglib2 and nautilus dbgsym packages installed, thanks a lot.

I am affected too. Am I discovered that this doesn't happen on a freshly installed machine, only from my box that upgraded from Lucid to Alpha

[Jesse (sbjesse)]

I have tried obtaining a more detailed backtrace attached here:?field.comment=I have tried obtaining a more detailed backtrace attached as gdb-nautilus.txt
The command I ran to get the backtrace:
gdb -x ~/junk/nautilus.gdbrc -p `pidof nautilus` nautilus
The content of nautilus.gdbrc is as follows: (between the bars)
====
set logging file gdb-nautilus.txt
set logging overwrite on
set logging on
handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
set pagination 0
continue
backtrace full
info registers
x/16i $pc
thread apply all backtrace full
quit
====
What I did the reproduce the bug:
1. run gdb to attach to nautilus (damn it is reborn every time ...)
2. visit Places / Bookmarks / Downloads, which gives me a Nautilus window
3. type "ooo". Nautilus behaved as expected. Close this window
4. invoke "nautilus ~/Downloads" from terminal, which gives me a Nautilus window
5. type "ooo". Bug reproduced:
  preedit box pops up, the first "o" is entered, and SIGSEGV was caught ...

@Jesse

I check this backtrace file, it seems same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/625696 , and, bt18 are ibus's procedure(maybe).

Could you please check your environment that {had / had not} ibus-enablement?

[Jesse (sbjesse)]

@fumihito thank you! i've tried running nautilus without ibus and you are right! it didn't crash!

[Fumihito YOSHIDA (hito)]

@Jesse

Thank you for your responce! I'll set dup of 625696.
And, your backtrace-file seems very good case, it will be there for bug squash!
