I can confirm this bug. I can also add some more information. Here is the X log (running 13.10):

Whenever I opened a document, spreadsheet, etc. it would crash or hang the desktop. I waited for Ubuntu 13.04, hoping that this would be resolved, but the issue is the same. Has anyone else seen this? Any hints for getting past this? Or do I need to go back to 12.04?
