Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

happened as soon as i clicked on the unity launcher

I got this crash alert after closing the Gnome weather app and going over to Transmission. I am using Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 beta 2 if it helps.

It is definitely related to gnome-weather, but not sure what exactly triggers the crash.

I got this crash again after just logging into Ubuntu Gnome, and yeah I agree with Calin, it has to do with the gnome weather app.

It happens often...
