Bug Description

To reproduce:

1. Install raring daily ISO 26th Jan in virtualbox VM.
2. During install select automatic login.
3. Select defaults for everything else.
4. Reboot after install, and wait.

The dconf-service crash happens a few seconds after automatic login.

dpkg -l libglib2.0-0:
ii libglib2.0-0:amd64 2.35.4-0ubuntu5 amd64 GLib library of C routines

So either #1105102 is not fixed or this is a different bug.
