This sounds just like my problem as well. its does "crash" but essentially hangs for 30 seconds to a few mintues, with each search. I've turned off the tracker live backend, and the programs backend (the two i would use most) and it still happens.
I'm more than willing to help figure this out, however, I am unsure how ot manually run deskbar, since it is an applet to get a backtrace./debug report etc. -- [gutsy] deskbar applet locks up during first search after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
