I'm having the same bug. The indicator-applet-session crashes every time on gnome startup. Then, if it is reloaded, all works well. Apport refuses to produce a bug report, saying: "The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved"

On my system the same problem occurs, but it always happens after closing a session and start another.

My system is in Spanish, and the message appears after trying to send the error is as follows:

El problema no puede notificarse:

El programa se colgó en el fallo de un aserto, pero no se pudo recuperar el mensaje. Apport no admite la notificación de tales cuelgues

After the applet just crashed apport popped up and collected some information.

(It still failed to file a bug but apport-unpack helped here)

I was happy that now there seems to be some more useful backtrace.

This started happening today for me when I log in. (fully up to date box as of sept. 28.

When in Gnome-Shell, it takes the entire DE down. Not in normal Gnome.

However sometimes Gnome freezes on start-up, happens every few boots. It could be related.

This is a UI bug that would bug people to death. Therefore, the dev team needs to get to work. Such a bug should not remain open for two or more days... especially since there is not a whole lot of code to look through compared to something like firefox or openoffice. Correct me if I am wrong.

When was the fix released? I was seeing this a couple days ago on an up-to-date Karmic.
