[Bug 841280] Re: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in count_languages_and_territories()

 

I've found this bug page when looking for the solution to another problem.
Gnome-shell was crashing with the gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu. The workaround I found was just to set the picture in the user profile.
Then I've found User Accounts was crashing, what I wasn't aware of.
In Unity, I put a picture in my profile. After rebooting, everything works fine: both User Accounts and the shell extension.

I'm really not sure if there is an actual relation between these issues,
but was a workaround for me.
