Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I am marking this confirmed based on the duplicates. I have reproduced this myself.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

This should be fixed in thunar 1.2.2 in oneiric.

I still experienced this crash when starting a persistent xubuntu live session from the latest Oneiric Beta 1 (20110830) CD. (ISO Testing Case ID: dls-003)

This doesn't crash when running live session on hardware. It appears to be something involved with VirtualBox.

Tested both 32bit and 64bit images on hardware :

Hardware test; 2.8 GHz P4; 768MB RAM; ATI Radeon 9800 w/128MB
Hardware test; 2.8 GHz P4, 64bit; 1GB RAM; nVidia MX-4000 w/64MB memory
