Public bug reported:

Since upgrade to  Quantal, Ubuntu keeps printing the warning 'GLib-
CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `string != NULL' failed' on
every opened gtk application. I don't know where it comes from. Someone
said it may be related to canberra and/or canberra-pixbuf packages. I'm
not sure it's the case.

The warning shows over and over again on each gtk-based window action,
like open a new window, click on menus or buttons and so on. Application
runs with no problem, just the warning is really driving me crazy. I
googled a lot and found little information on this issue. I think maybe
if I file it  there is someone who knows something about it and can help
me out.
