Version: 2.15.5 What were you doing when the application crashed? I just started the "System>Administration>Networking" tools. The gateway was of by mistake. The tools crashed immediately on load. I did it again, and it crashed again, in a similar way.

This is reproduceable on my box. It did not happen with a vanilla install of ubuntu, but after I installed my favorite packages (more then a thousand, so go track which one is the cause) it occurs in a reproduceable way. I tried stracing networg-admin and discovered something interesting: the bug does not happen when I start network-admin from the command line. Running "gksu /usr/bin/network-admin" does not trigger the bug either. It only happens when I go throught the menus. But very reproduceably.
