Kevin Turner and I have been hunting this one yesterday. Unfortunately
I cannot access bugs.gnome.org at the moment but the number starts with 12***
and you'll find it at the place for critical bugs. He provided a really nice
backtrace, too.
We found out that this bug just occurs with an open layersdialog and
that different bugs occurred on his machine when this is not the case.
Unfortunately I cannot debug it because this error doesn't show up on my
machine; prerequisite for it is that you change one of the parameters while
an update of the preview is running in the image display. However the
dialog is blocked on my machine (which seems sensible to me) by default
and I'm not quite sure why....
