By the way, the crash happens only when I plug in or plug out my power card

I have this same issue with essentially the same stack. The issue also only occurs when I toggle to powercord

Indeed, Docky crashes each time my laptop goes into suspend and whenever I plug-in/plug-out the power cord.

Hello
I was able to fix this by doing what Weston Bustraan (wbustraan) says on Bug #1309706:
You must download the source code, modify the SystemService.cs file..
hope that helps!

I was able to fix it without commenting out the code.

In Docky.Services/Docky.Services/SystemService.cs, I changed:

[Interface(UPowerName)]
interface IUPower : org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties

to

[Interface("org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties")]
interface IUPower : org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties

I'm not a .NET programmer (Java), but I would hazard a guess that the proxy object that dbus-sharp is generating will only respond to the interface described by the Interface attribute. The 'Get' method is a part of org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties D-Bus interface, not org.freedesktop.UPower.

The other thing I did was to add a try/catch block around the code in HandleUPowerChanged() similar to the one in InitializeBattery(), so that even if the the D-Bus call fails, it doesn't crash all of Docky.
