This seems to have something to do with 'unity-lens-photos'. I don't know the exact reason, but

     sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-photos

solved the problem for me. Now, Geeqie is starting without seg faults again.

Quantal, up to date.
Geeqie 1.1, built from source

Same for me with geeqie 1.0 (1:1.0-10build1) on quantal. Removing unity-lens-photos (0.6-ubuntu4) made it work. I ran it in gdb and had the following:
