F-spot experiences multiple crashes in lucid

Binary package hint: f-spot

I just installed F-spot and am disappointed to find out the present version of the program is practically unusable. I am running 0.6.1.5-1 on lucid. All problems with the programs I encountered lead to an immediate terminate which is not caught by apport (this is worth an investigation too).

One way to crash f-spot is to start it and click on the import button (upper left corner below menu). Here is the log of the program:
nasko@serre:~$ f-spot

(f-spot:11046): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference.

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'f-spot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 3682 error_code 1 request_code 152 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Any help is welcome.
