Seems like the stack is gone :PP

Ok, let's try another approach:

Start the xfce4-menueditor with strace, like this:

	strace -f xfce4-menueditor > /tmp/strace-xfce4-menueditor.log 2>&1 &

Then "crash" it.

Then send us the last 100 lines of the file /tmp/strace-xfce4-menueditor.log

(you can do a "tail -n 100 /tmp/strace-xfce4-menueditor.log > /tmp/strace-last100.log" and attach the second file).
