This bug is still affecting me in 14.04. Have looked at this further using gdb. It seems that there is a generic problem in do_warn when called from systray.py. A number of other bugs have reported this with different warning messages cuasing the crash. So anything that causes a warning message wlll cause a crash. In my case the message is related to pango. When I first saw this bug on a previous distribution it was caused by a different warning message.
