Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

hardy desktop daily build downloaded April 14th and updated to-day. Installed with Wubi rev784 on Windows Vista.
I had been inspecting system logs. Prior to the crash I had done the following:
I had used to scroll button on the mouse to scroll - in the log I thought - but focus was in the left pane so I scolled the list of logs instead.
Then I remembered something I wanted to check on the desktop and clicked on the "show desktop" icon in the lower left corner. It did not work the first time, so I clicked again and noticed the crash.
