This is a GNOME1.4 bug that is somehow now being reported in 2.0, three times in the past 48 hours. Regressions are bad :/
I had the same stack trace with gnome-panel 1.5.22 and gnome-desktop 1.5.21. Updated both of them to head to debug, and the crash is gone. Apparently create_menu_at was passed rubbish pointers from above. Couldn't get more info, it works now :)
Oh, phew. Closing then :)
