Status in accountsservice source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  Hi. There appeared some problems with 'accountsservice' -- a D-Bus
  interface for user account query and manipulation, that honestly have
  occurred day-to-day.

  ### PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  ========================
  A few weeks ago after login as a normal user, 'accountsservice' (used for querying and manipulating user account informations) crashed. On the beginning it was a random incident. After a few days, 'accountsservice' crashed each time after every user logs on. I think, that's all what I can write, to try to describe this issue, because everything seems to be okay -- no system freezing or slowdowns, no problems after packages update/upgrade etc.

  ### DETAILED INFORMATIONS:
  ==========================
  * ProblemType: Crash
  * Uname: Linux 3.2.0-51-generic-pae i686
  * Architecture: i386
  * DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 (Xubuntu 12.04 variant)
  * Package: accountsservice 0.6.15-2ubuntu9.6
  * ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.4
  * NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
  * Segfault happened at: 0xb76bb7c3:	mov    0x10(%eax),%eax
  * Executable Path (ProcCmdline): /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon

  Also '/var/log/apport.log' file contain some informations about this
  issue. Everything is in a attached log file.

  ### WHAT HAVE HAD AN IMPACT ON THIS ISSUE?
  ==========================================
  I have no ideas, why it started to happen. Only one thing, which I've done for a few weeks before problems with 'accountsservice' was 'conky-all' install. Nothing more, nothing less -- no serious administrative tasks were performed (except e.g. kernel or programs updates via APT utility or UpdateManager, but it seems to be obvious).

  ### APPENDIX:
  =============
  I would like to notice, that this issue still occurs, after next point Xubuntu update -- from 12.04.2 to 12.04.3 version. So for now, kernel version is; 3.2.0-55-generic-pae. Anything related with this bug, when all of this started to happen, remains unchanged.
  One more, important, thing to mention is that - in my case - 'accountsservices' crashed even after a fresh Xubuntu 12.04 install. For more info, please see comment #12.

  Best regards.
