Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Happens when attempting to open the properties window on the attached file from the desktop.  Works fine when inside a normal Nautilus window.  

Arch Linux with Nautilus 3.24.2-1

Can't seem to post the file (bugzilla issue?), but it does seem to happen with any image files on the desktop.  .tiff files do it as well as .jpg and I'd imagine others as well.

Apologies for the spam, VPN issue.  Here's the .jpg.

Confirming. The stack trace I get indicates that the crash happens somewhere in Exempi.

desktop: initialize Exempi in main()

Opening the file properties window causes a crash with images that have
embedded XMP information. This is caused by not initializing the library
properly.
