Hello and thank u for contacting me about this bug.
I'm not quite sure if it's reproduce able and what are the steps if it is,

but let me try to explain it a bit more thoroughly and how did everything started.
About 3 weeks ago I did a fresh install of Ubuntu on one partition of my hdd.Few days later,I've decided I need to enlarge the partition,so I used Parted Magic Live CD and resized hdd with GParted{I've enlarged partition from left to right}.Anyway,the crashing started about a week ago and it was random,one crash in 10 or 15 times emptying the trash.The only way to empty the trash now is to go to the trash from the left side menu in file browser.But now as days go by,almost every popup is causing Unity to crash and leave blank desktop for 4-5 seconds.
I've reported this bug also,as a separate one.
I don't know if this is going to be helpful,but sure hope so...
If you need some more info,please don't hesitate to contact me.

Greetings,
Boban

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
