Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Right click desktop...
"Change Desktop Background"
"Add Wallpaper"
The Places sidepanel does not show mounted HD volumes, with the exception of "Filesystem".
Drag a disk volume icon from the desktop over to the Places sidepanel.
A window pops up saying "Could not add a bookmark" followed by unintelligible symbols.
The "Add Wallpaper" and "Desktop Background Preferences" dialogs disappear completely. (program crashes)

This behavior is different than with other GTK2 Open File dialogs, for example in Gedit, dragging the disk icon adds a new - but invalid - entry to the bookmarks. It can't be accessed, but at least doesn't crash the application.

Here you go. It says there are no debugging symbols, but the output contained a very descriptive error message from GLib, so it should help.

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, the trace isn't good, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

Eh, why can't whomever goes about fixing the bug make their own backtrace?
I'll try duplicating the steps described again to include debugging symbols.

The bug has been confirmed by others, however.
