And, this trace equate to trace in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693941

See Also : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696921 terminal crashes when opening the profile editor

Duplicated bug 928319 ?

Ignore comment #1 

When testing now, backtrace equates to bug 92819

I have this issue too
 dmesg output shows

Discussed at 2013-04-03 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-04-03/f19alpha-blocker-review-4.2013-04-03-16.01.log.txt .
