I think I've got the same bug. A couple of weeks before I've hit this
with Linux Mint also. I investigated then and the problem was that the
network applet registered callbacks for events (network disconnection
etc.) but failed to unregister them when the applet was unloaded.
Because of this, the callbacks would be called again with freed memory
addresses as parameters.

Steps to reproduce: Open gnome-control-center, and after that the
network panel. Toggle the wired connection ON->OFF (I have a wired one),
then OFF->ON. Exit network panel to gnome-control-center and then
reenter network panel. Crash. From what I remember using Valgrind took a
couple (4, 5 at max) of entering, exiting the network applet before a
crash would occur. Using the Ubuntu compiled version would get me a
crash directly.

I'm using Ubuntu quantal (development branch) AMD64, gnome-control-
center 3.4.2.
