Hi,

Please give me more details to track this down. in
particular I need the backtrace and the strace log when this
happened.
Please send me the logs against the steps below.

HOW TO GET THE BACKTRACE:
# apt-get install xlibs-dbg libglib1.2-dbg libgtk1.2-dbg
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug:/usr/X11R6/lib/debug gdb --args <gtk application> [args if you need to specify the args]
(gdb) run
....
(gdb) bt

HOW TO GET THE STRACE LOG:
# apt-get install strace
$ strace <gtk application> [args if you need] >& <logfilename>

BTW I have changed the severity to 'grave', because
'critical' means

critical
    makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole
    system) break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a
    security hole on systems where you install the package.

  but this problem actually doesn't break *anything*, rather

grave
    makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or
    causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing
    access to the accounts of users who use the package.

 matches.
