Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in Trusty Tahr, Utopic Unicorn, and the development release, Vivid Vervet. If upgrading is an option, please know that upgrading to Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04 - also an LTS) will fix this issue for you.
The fix for this bug appears to have been released in GLib 2.35.9, according to this: http://upstream.rosalinux.ru/changelogs/glib/2.40.0/changelog.html - Newer versions of glib are available in official repositories of Trusty, Utopic, and Vivid. If you would like to request a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention. Please be advised, it may not be possible to push an update a component like this due to regression potential. [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure The Stable Release Update Procedure is the proper method to bring these requests to developers. Please refrain from posting complaints that bugs are not fixed to the developer mailing lists. Please read our suggested bug reporting etiquette [2].
