Which release you're using?
My first quess would be that the device runs out of memory (because
something (Canola?) is using a lot of it, maybe because it leaks) and
allocations are denied to applications (by kernel) and if that happens
inside anything using Glib (such as Gtk), the Glib aborts the process.
How much free memory (free+buffers+cached) the device has when this
starts to happen more frequently?
Anyway, I don't see what in R&D mode could be affecting memory usage...
Could you isolate it better?

I've never seen this error message.
Does it come from the application or the D-BUS daemon?
What:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
tells about file descriptor usage in the whole system?
And what:
--------------------------------
for pid in /proc/[0-9]*; do
cmd=$(tr '\0' ' '<$pid/cmdline);
if [ "$cmd" ]; then
echo "$(ls -l $pid/fd/|wc -l) ${cmd%% *}[${pid##*/}]";
fi;
done|sort -n
--------------------------------
lists as number of file descriptors used by the processes?
