This seems to happen if gnome-settings-daemon takes over control over gtk settings from gtk configfiles since it happens reproducable if gnome-settings-daemon is started or killed. So it could be that a bug in GTK triggers the crash (while I'm not an expert in GTK space)

This only adds an if (style) around the code.

If style is null the results are pretty bad, right? These colors don't get initialized?

As it only happens for me if control is switched from gnome-settings-daemon to config-file based config (where I don't know at all what GTK is doing exactly) I've just checked what happens now if I kill gnome-settings-daemon when I had a different theme configured in it.
Firefox still changed it's menu colors so I guess we have more than one event and the changes still get applied.

I also checked tooltip colors and it still seems to work as expected.

Fixes a crasher on Linux which can easily happen if you don't run Gnome.

This happens for me to (same stack backtrace). I don't get SEGV, but "Illegal instruction", if that matters.

Possible test case as posted by C4llumD on bug 116873 [1] (for KDE):

While Thunderbird is running:
kcontrol -> Appearances & Themes -> Style

On the Style tab select Widget Style "Keramik" -> Configure

Check/uncheck either of the boxes, OK -> Apply and Thunderbird will crash within a couple of seconds as KDE applies the changes.
