I guess you meant "prior to second attempt". On fresh boot, before starting users-admin, the stb should not be running (as on your screenshot).
A standard way to get information would be to use gdb. Can you try "pidof system-tools-backends; gdb attach <PID>" and then "thread apply all bt"? I guess you'll need to install debug symbols packages for the traces to be readable to me. You should install those packages (if you're using the 32 buts version): http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/gnome-system-tools/gnome-system-tools-dbgsym_2.27.3-0ubuntu1_i386.ddeb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6-dbgsym_2.9-4ubuntu6_i386.ddeb Else you can add the line deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic main restricted universe multiverse to /etc/apt/sources.list, and then install the packages gnome-system-tools-dbgsym and libc6-dbgsym. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace (same result). I know that's a little complex, but that could help.
