Rhythmbox crashes when 'Preferences' is clicked

[Alan Morgan]

I am using Rhythmbox 2.97-1ubuntu2, in Ubuntu 12.10.

I open Rhythmbox, go to Edit and then Preferences, and Rhythmbox crashes. This happens every time I have tested it.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I just incrementally updated between alpha-2 (when RB worked) and alpha-3 (when it did not) and tracked the breakage down to d-conf.

dconf-gsettings-backend 0.12.1-2: edit→preferences functions correctly.
dconf-gsettings-backend 0.13.4-0ubunu1: crash as in this bug.

Adding a d-conf task accordingly.

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 2.97-1ubuntu3
