I thought about this later, after I sent my last comment.  We still
don't know what caused the crash.

This is a long-shot, but we did have an import crash recently due to bad
EXIF data in a photo.  The fix is in a separate library, gexiv2, which
uses Exiv2 to read metadata.  It's possible you've updated to Shotwell
0.7.2 but are still using the older version of gexiv2.  You can tell
what version you have by typing this at the console:

$ pkg-config --modversion gexiv2

If it says 0.2.0, it's worth upgrading to 0.2.1 and see if that solves
your problem.  You can get it at our PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ppa

Could you remove ~/.shotwell again and try importing again?  This time,
however, run Shotwell like this:

$ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 gdb shotwell 2>&1 | tee shotwell.gdb

When you get to the gdb prompt type this:

(gdb) run

Import the photos as before.  When (if!) Shotwell crashes, you'll be
returned to the gdb prompt.  Type this:

(gdb) backtrace full

Then exit and attach to this ticket the shotwell.gdb file and
~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log

That would help us quite a bit.  Thanks!
