Hi Bilal,

Since I upgraded to quantal this specific crash happened to me a couple of times. I couldn't consistently reproduce it, but I can tell this last time I clicked in the notification icon and in the notification specific to the person that sent me the message. It opened the chat window, that became grey and then crashed. Please, let me know if I can provide more details.

Thanks!

Upstream have closed it as NOTGNOME:

"Crash is related to libdbusmenu which is Ubuntu specific (indicator patch) so
this is probably a downstream bug."

Should we do something now, to avoid this bug getting stuck?

At first glance, it looks like gsignal's private hashtable "g_handler_list_bsa_ht" is getting corrupted somehow.

Would it be possible for someone to submit a backtrace -- or even better, a valgrind log -- against newer verisons of glib + dbusmenu?
