Yes, that's been happening to me (Debian sid) and Mark Williams (IIRC)
(Ubuntu) lately too, it isn't just DevTray. I think there's an obscure
bug in recent versions of GTK+.  I'll have to see if I can gather enough
information by using --sync and *-dbg packages to file a useful bug
report.

When developing Media I found that I could make the crashes at least
much rarer by changing the order in which the hierarchy of the applet's
widgets are shown and placed inside each other etc, but I'm not sure I
enirely cured it.
