Bug Description

benste@benste-vpc-sb1c5e:~$ seahorse
** Message: init gpgme version 1.2.0

(seahorse:5265): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Property 'icon' on class 'SeahorsePkcs11Certificate' has type 'gchararray' which is different from the type 'GIcon', of the property on interface 'GcrCertificateIface'

(seahorse:5265): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `<invalid>' in cast to `GSimpleAsyncResult'

(seahorse:5265): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_get_op_res_gpointer: assertion `G_IS_SIMPLE_ASYNC_RESULT (simple)' failed
Segmentation fault
---------
the first one doesn't crash the system

---------
reproduce:
go to seahorse, change tab to own keys,
rightclick on a key gPG to open it's details,
window appears for a 2nd. than seahorse crashes
-------
sidenotes - my system doesn't have any SMART Errors, hence the segfault shouldn't be caused by the HDD

-------------
I tagged this bug as security as I don't know how much information from my keyring is discolsed - neither whether this error can be used for an intrusion.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
