Public bug reported:

Attempting to run some GTK apps (e.g. pyrenamer) on 14.10 results in an
immediate crash, with the message "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not
locked".

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735428 seems to be the
relevant upstream bug, and there is a patch here:
https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/commit/79c3ff3c4ed74bbcc820dac2d5180fa4d48d55ec

To some extent, this seems to be the result of individual projects using
GTK incorrectly, and some fixes have been made to those individual
projects.

*However*, I am also seeing this bug occur in a closed source third
party application, Stata 13. As Emmanuele Bassi mentions in the Gnome
bug thread, there are probably a lot of applications out in the wild
affected by the same issue, that in some cases cannot be fixed, so it
would be good if a fix could be included in the versions of GTK that
Ubuntu ships.
