This bug isn't just about jockey-gtk. Crashing while doing such an important operation as installing a driver breaks the entire system, for example in my case once crashed trying to install the post-release updates I can't switch monitor, no more audio from HDMI and mouse freezes on the bottom right corner of the screen. In addition system in this state can't be fixed by just removing the driver! Please, consider the importance of this bug.
