What are these weird backtraces you're reporting? I can't reproduce any of your crashes and I don't see any useful information in the "backtraces" you're submitting. Can you give some more information about this?

Hello Jan,
thank you for your respond. This bugreport was made by Gnome bugbuddy tool, that said that I should report this bug to the developers. Today I upgrade another packages in my system. It is amazing, this bug disapper. Could you give me some hints, how can I make more usefull reports for you in the future? Quite similar bug I had two month ago and one day after pacman -Syu disappeared as today.

You could try to install gdb to generate useful backtraces, bug-buddy will generate backtraces with some useful information in it, though it's not useful to upstream software maintainers, as we don't include debug symbols.

In your case, I think the dbus upgrade might have "fixed" your problem. Gnome-screensaver still has this bug where it crashes when your dbus system bus is not available. When upgrading from dbus 1.0 to 1.1, dbus crashes and makes your system bus unavailable.
