Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

indicator-applet crashes several times a day with this error. I am not adept enough to tell whether this is a duplicate of #433553. There is no -dbg package provided, so it is impossible to provide a backtrace with symbols.

This is a spontaneous error — there is nothing I do to trigger it. I am running the following applications which are registered with the applet:

* Empathy
* Evolution (with 1 account and its label starts with the letter N and is 6 chars long if that makes any difference)
* Gwibber
* Pidgin

It should also be noted that Gwibber and Pidgin are not running on my system, but they still show up in indicator-applet, which if not a feature, seems to be broken behaviour.

backtrace Edit (18.7 KiB, text/plain)

I followed the debugging and backtrace tutorial: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace .
I added a backtrace. I hope it will help. There still are some question marks.
I also tried to use valgrind and add a memcheck log but it seems that I cannot use valgrind with an applet. Or I did not start the right file for the applet...
