The bug appears to be caused by a memory allocation or reference-count error. I've built network-manager-applet (aka package network-manager- applet) and added a report:
src/wsp-wpa-eap.c::wso_wpa_eap_new() phase2_type_combo = glade_xml_get_widget (opt->uixml, "wpa_eap_phase2_type_combo"); tree_model = wso_wpa_create_phase2_type_model (capabilities, TRUE, &num_added); printf("About to call GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL(%lX)\n", tree_model); printf("GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (%lX)=%d\n", tree_model, GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL(tree_model)); gtk_combo_box_set_model (GTK_COMBO_BOX (phase2_type_combo), tree_model); gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (tree_model, &iter); gtk_combo_box_set_active_iter (GTK_COMBO_BOX (phase2_type_combo), &iter); Mostly it will crash, but sometimes it will work okay.
