Not really sure what caused the crash. I had Pidgin, Evolution, and Rythmbox all going at the same time.

This happened twice in a row, at the end of running Update Manager.

I'm marking this as Confirmed, since it has a good stack trace (complete under the __cxa_rethrow() call, which is what matters*) and is indicated to affect 10 people.

By the way, while this bug's looks superficially similar to bug 741958 and bug 762345, comparing their stack traces indicates that all three are most likely separate bugs*.

Was able to get to Unity desktop OK, but not Unity-2D. Using ASUS eeePC900 with external KVM

[Guy Stone (stoneguy3)]

Ignore #8. Just noticed this is against Natty last June. My instance against today's daily Precise

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Guy Stone: I don't understand your comments, are you saying you are getting the problem with Precise or not?
