Version: 2.16.0

What were you doing when the application crashed?
Selecting File -> Open from gedit.
Gedit was started as a different user from the one that owns the gnome-session.  It appears as though the open dialog requires a dbus-session to be running (since this error has only ever occurred when gedit has been started by a different user and has not been started using dbus-launch).  It's a bit annoying, since I tend to start programs from a variety of different users.

Error messages seen on the console before the crash are as follows:

(gedit:7689): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)
Volume monitoring will not work.

It would be nice if this could either not segfault but simply report the error, or gracefully start the required dbus-session if it can't be found when required...

Thanks for the bug report. I think this particular bug is a duplicate of bug #355621.
