It did happen one more time with up-to-date and restarted system. The crash occured after 4 or 5 logouts and logins. But this time the applet was not restarted and no offer to make bug report was made, just plain question if I want to remove the applet or to keep it, like in Debian (I guess the bug report system is Ubuntu specific).
