--- Comment #4 from Caolán McNamara <caolanm at redhat.com> ---
What is happening here is that in the optoins page there is a list of
currencies and there are many symbols for them. At least one of those symbols
cannot be rendered in any font installed on that machine and so a request has
been issued to packagekit to find a font which could render the glyph.

In master the options dialog is now native gtk3, so you have to use
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
to try and reproduce this. My font has the glyphs but if I paste in an obscure
thing like...

𛰋

into the date accept pattern and wait 5 secs then under Fedora 30 I get the
expected "Additional Fonts Required" notification at the top of the gnome
desktop so no crash for me.

shell/source/sessioninstall/SyncDbusSessionHelper.cxx
SyncDbusSessionHelper::InstallFontconfigResources is what is called in this
scenario and that calls "request" in there and I imagine the crash is in that
function
