Also, I'd like to see feedback from @vanvugt (as he has triaged a lot of
gnome-shell crash reports), and Michael Hofmann <m...@mh21.de> as the
original maintainer of indicator-multiload.

Title:
  Starting indicator-multiload crashes gnome-shell

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ## Steps to reproduce ##

  1. On bionic, apt install -y indicator-multiload
  2. Run indicator-multiload

  lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
  gnome-shell version: 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1
  indicator-multiload version: 0.4-0ubuntu5

  
  ## Actual result ##

  Whole desktop crashes.

  gnome-shell dies with SIGABRT, logging this assertion failure:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787512

  
  ## Expected result ##

  An applet appears, showing CPU/RAM load graphs.

  If not that -- an error is reported.

  If not that -- gnome-shell continues to work, rather than crashing and
  destroying everything unsaved I've been working on.

  The desktop should not crash because of one shitty program. Especially
  so if that program puts itself into ~/.config/autostart -- effectively
  rendering the OS dead to a simpleton user.
