Title:
  Dropbox crash on Ubuntu MATE Remix

Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm getting "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked" and a
  segfault when running Ubuntu MATE Remix 14.10.

  It seems this bug is reported elsewhere in a number of other packages
  and is a result of a change in GLib ≥ 2.41.

  I am told this patch can fix it.

  https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/commit/79c3ff3c4ed74bbcc820dac2d5180fa4d48d55ec

  Bug 1346299 & bug 1344386 are related (similar issue, different app).

  Note that as this is dropbox, we cannot easily fix there as it's
  proprietary.
