users-admin isn't part of the stock GNOME3 experience, but it should work if you still need it rather than the new users control panel.

The crash here comes from a bad packaging/build that mixes GTK2 and GTK3 symbols:
#2 0x00007f87f66eca22 in g_logv (log_domain=0x7f87f95c779b "Gtk", log_level=<value optimized out>, format=0x7f87f9659d88 "GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported", args1=0x7fff2b3ab690) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/gmessages.c:557

So that's not a crash per se, rather a broken package.

users-admin 2.32 is supposed to use GTK2 only, while users-admin 3.0 uses GTK3 only. When you speak of GNOME3, do you mean you installed it from the PPA?
