It's worth noting that this bug can no longer occur as it is described here -- g_mutex_lock() has been rewritten and the new version doesn't abort.
That said, the underlying issue that was causing the misuse of a mutex could very well still exist... Unfortunately, it's very difficult to guess what that may be, at this point. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #724929 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724929 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to d-conf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284017 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in g_thread_abort() Status in A simple key-based configuration system: Unknown Status in d-conf package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: gnome-shell crashed on system restart.
