Others logfiles in the linked Launchpad report.
thanks
Fabio

Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-03-16 19:24:29 UTC

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

It's also missing a link to the original report on Launchpad.

Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2012-03-16 19:35:21 UTC

the issue is in libdbusmenu, not a GNOME bug
