In the meantime I upgraded to 11.11. The problem has not manifested
itself since then, so I can no longer reproduce or check it.

Title:
  Gnome-session crashed by various applications

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 a couple of weeks ago my gnome-session crashed several times when I was starting some application or opening a new window. At first I was not sure whether it wasn't always related to Mozilla Thunderbird but today my session crashed when I double-clicked a PDF file in Nautilus, expecting it to open in Evince. It is like in bug #282939 where Gnusound propagates a signal to the whole process group, which includes the running gnome-session.
  The effect is, ofcourse, that the session ends and the log-in mask is presented.
  Could it be that the X11 server generates (and propagates) such a signal on creation of a new window? Only I see that the X server, which is up even before log-in, is not running under the same process group as my gnome-session.
  I suppose the killing of the session prevents any attempts to gather useful data about the crash. Log files show nothing suspicious (to me), except maybe this in .xsession-errors:

  (process:3099): DEBUG: desktop-launch-listener.vala:118: ran with uri:
  file:/... <the PDF file I was trying to open>
