gedit crashes when I save / open file

The crash also happens when I open a file in gedit, it also happens with some programs (I found gimp) but not with gedit or with zenity --file-selection; so it could be with gtk or glib.

Something weird in my filechooser is I'm missing some XDG shortcuts, I have Music, Pictures and Downloads; but I don't have Documents and Vidéos. I'm sure they were present few days or weeks ago.

Not sure this is related

the XDG shortcuts problem doesn't seems to be related. I recreated them and the crash still occurs

Could you change the /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend gconf key value to gnome-vfs and note if that workaround the issue?

marking this as triaged since it was already sent upstream, thanks.

Same for me.
I use Ubuntu hardy 8.04, and now (I think after some upgrade related to gvfs) after I open a new file in gedit, when I try to save the file the UI hang and nothing happen (It's possible only to force quit the window).
Instead if the file exists before the function Save works correctly.

The problem is valid also if I try to open an existing file with the function "Open".
Moreover is valid also for gimp (same problem if I try to save file or open an existing file)

Ok.
I've temporarily solved, downgrading and forcing the version 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 of gvfs,gfvs-backend and gvfs-fuse.
The last version, 0.2.4-0ubuntu2, instead have the problems reported above.

As seen here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514843 i checked the content of my .gtkbookmarks, since it was user related to me (so it makes no sense that it was a broken package). I deleted all content of this file (all file choser related bookmarks will be gone) and this solved the Problem.

This bug was fixed in the package gtk+2.0 - 2.24.8-0ubuntu1

---------------
gtk+2.0 (2.24.8-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - gtkfilechooser should be more robust to malformed URIs
      in .gtk-bookmarks (LP: #189494)
  * debian/patches/010_make_bg_changes_queue_repaint.patch
    - dropped it introduces performance regressions in some gtk2
      apps (LP: #889019)
  * 101_filechooser.patch, 000git_file_chooser.patch: dropped, upstream

No - its intermittent but saving a file still randomly crashes gedit (the file saves remotely) but gedit crashes

ubuntu 11.x - gedit 3.2.3 -
