When starting the system monitor for the first time after installing precise, it produced this crash. Subsequent attempts at starting it wails with no warning.

I have investigated the issue, and it seems that if the default colors list (4 colors) is shorter than the number of CPUs in the computer (e.g. 8), it crashes system monitor. I have managed to reproduce this by setting the dconf-value to a 2 elements list (and I have 4 cores).
