Ok, seems to be an issue with this week updates and Ted is away until next week, Michael do you think you could try to debug this one? You are probably one of those who know this code best after Ted

Could you describe the applications you are running which use the indicator?

I hit this after login. I have the regular indicators: network manager, bluetooth, sound, social (email, chat, etc), datetime, Me and power, but I also have the indicator-weather installed, which crashed on login as well (bug #724959).
