Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Hi Pedro, any ideas why apport failed to retrace this? gnome-utils doesn't even seem to have -dbgsym package in the archive. I had to rebuild the package using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,noopt.

Thanks you. I've forwarded it to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510232

the log viewer was completely overwritten so this must is going to be fixed with the new package on jaunty, thanks.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-utils - 2.25.2-0ubuntu1
