On a hunch, I remembered Pidgin also bundles in the eggtrayicon, but hasn't been crashing for me.
The same issue was reported to Pidgin [1] (the last comment contains a link to the commit [2]). That ticket also references an upstream (GNOME) ticket [3]. ~Paul [1] http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1156 [2] http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/1321643b6e0d2a65233abee85c9a641d33d6312a (dog slow) [3] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449858
