The ubuntu bug has several duplicates or similar crashes on different softwares, not sure if that's a csw issue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408273 for example
gdkwindow.c:4651 in gtk+ 2.17.5 is the last row in: /* Iterate over children, starting at topmost */ for (l = private->children; l != NULL; l = l->next) { child = l->data; So, it seems like there is a problem with the list of children. From the backtrace: l = (GList *) 0xea000000bf could be invalid, the pointer doesn't look like the other ones in the stacktrace, although that doesn't guarantee that its wrong.
fixed with commit 9f822431970b9744f0184ae2d9e9977f607ffe4e
