Unfortunately, there's no backtrace. Can you try to get a backtrace again and type 'thread apply all bt' at then end?

Since I had more problems after some upgrades yesterday... I moved to
Edgy. Everything is fine concerning background properties. Have no more
the log files... Sorry.

Cheers.

The upgrade to edgy fixes the problem? The bug has probably been squashed for the new version then, closing it. Feel free to reopen if you get that bug again with edgy

Comment from upstream:

"The warnings pasted above in the report, are coming from "control-center" and
not "gnome-background-properties". I just tried the image, which failed to
thumbnail, but did not crash the capplet, as well. Perhaps some clue as to how
to actually reproduce this crash. I am running 2.16 here, and it is working
fine, aside from the fact that the file is broken. It does do approximately
what I would expect it to do, though. No crashing."
