This crash has no real reproduction case, so marked this verification-
done since:

1. It's been in Utopic for a couple of months now (and Vivid too) with no new crashes reported or regressions.
2. I've been running this package since it's been in the ci-train PPA (and -proposed after that) with no new regressions seen.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  An occasional unpredictable crash in the Unity shell occurs during a
  drag-and-drop operation.

  [Test Case]

  Unfortunately it is not possible to reproduce this bug at will.
  Apparently is is caused by an uninitialized pointer dereference that
  only occurs in a timing-dependent manner.

  Running a full autopilot test suite against the Unity desktop shell
  reveals no new regressions.

  [Regression Potential]

  The code change effectively adds a test for a null pointer.  It is
  possible that this might introduce a regression in drag-and-drop
  functionality that previously relied on undefined behaviour to work
  when it didn't crash.

  [Other Info]

  Fix was released with Ubuntu 14.10 and no new regressions have been
  reported.
