Comment 2 for bug 1173262

Ryan, thanks for your comments. I'm sure this was caused by the GLib change because I used git bisect on GLib and it pointed to that change exactly, and because although I normally run GTK from git master I reverted to GTK 3.8.0 while doing that bisection.

So I bet you're right that there's a memory error in unity-panel-service already. In fact I see lots of other crash report for unity-panel-service:

At least we now have a reproducible case. :)
