Bug Description
These types of crashes usually happen shortly after logging in, but in this case, it happened much later. Crashing early doesn't seem to happen with debugging info turned on, as it was for this issue.
For more details on this type of crash, please see bug #750386.
WORKAROUND: For some of us, this is caused by a corrupt .config/dconf/user file in our home directories. Try removing this file, and report back. Be warned, however, that by removing this file, you will lose many of your desktop environment configuration settings. If this is a concern, rename it and keep it around in case contents of the file are salvageable.
