Mine is random also. It happened more on precise but it just started popping up again and I had hoped it was fixed. Looks like it's back again. Does not happen specifically when I log-in or out. I don't get the same message as above even though it's reported as a dup and I do notice there is a lot of dup bugs listed here... colord-sane crashed with SIGABRT in raise()
