Shame, thanks for trying.

No idea what the problem is then. The stack trace would seem to indicate a
problem in GLib's GSLice allocator to me then (all our calls to g_object_new()
in gstregistryxml are without additional properties, so it can't be that we're
passing wrong args there). Hard to say without a better stack trace or a way to
reproduce.

There is a whole bunch of similar bugs, all of which are crashes in
g_slice_alloc() from g_type_create_instance(); many of those seem to be from
other panel applets as well.

Couldn't find any bugs in GLib that match this issue though, so chances are
fairly good that this is due to some memory corruption caused shortly before
and throwing off the GLib allocator.

Even more so since I don't see how gst_registry_xml_write_cache() would cause a
new object to be created.

Possibly related:
 - bug #379690: crash in g_free()/free() from gst_registry_xml_write_cache()
 - bug #354483: crash in xmlTextReaderRead() (!!!) from
gst_registry_xml_write_cache()
