Title:
  Dia-normal, GIMP crash when attempting to print using network printer

Status in dia package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:

Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When I attempt to print a diagram from dia-normal using one of the
  network printers offered by cups, the program crashes in the process
  of selecting a printer from the list of available printers.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Start dia, open a diagram
  2) Select File->Print
  3) Click on a (network) printer in the list of printers
  -> Crash

  Expected result:
  The ability to click the print button and have my diagram roll off the printer.

  Actual result:
  Dia graphical interface disappears, the following assertion shows up in a terminal:
  *** Error in `dia-normal': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x000000000285db10 ***

  Additional information:
  - Disabling the avahi daemon makes this problem disappear without loss of network printing ability, presumably because our network configuration does not rely on printer auto-discovery.
  - Problems do not occur when printing from e.g. evince.
  - But similar problems do exist with the Gimp. Perhaps this is a bug in one of the libraries used by dia and Gimp (GTK2 print dialogue/back-end problems solved in GTK3?)
  - This bug may be related to bug #1701128, but without access to the logs I am unable to verify.
