Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

This is just a bug report to attach the backtrace requested from upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573179 .

This happened on Jaunty. Here, the crash occurred only when deactivating the plugin... Maybe the original bug was partially fixed, or something else was changed...

This is the text from stdout:

$ gedit
