Several programs crash with Glib-GIO error

Question

in my notebook several programs crash with an error ouput:
(here for firefox)
(firefox:6303): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(firefox:6303): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(firefox:6303): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(firefox:6303): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: (gfile.c:5244):IA__g_file_load_partial_contents_finish: runtime check failed: (g_simple_async_result_get_source_tag (simple) == g_file_load_contents_async)

- firefox crashes every time i try to browse for a file (fileupload form).
- nautilus --no-desktop crashes also before the gui is loaded with the same error output.
- same to brasero
- same to gnomebaker
- evince crashes on open/file (again when browser should be opened)
thunar works, seems there is a problem with nautilus or any gnome's lib
on my another pc also running arch, there are no such problems.. would be great if anyone would help.
every hint is welcome, since i'm pretty frustrated.. google and irc didn't help.
thank you in advance

Hi
I experience a very similar problem.
Whenever I insert a blank CDrom or a blank dvd some applications crash that somehow access the dvd drive. these are brasero or listen, that I'm aware of, for the moment.
others like gnome-baker do fine. nautilus as well is doing fine.
brasero:
(brasero:25610): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(brasero:25610): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(brasero:25610): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(brasero:25610): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: (gfile.c:5244):IA__g_file_load_partial_contents_finish: runtime check failed: (g_simple_async_result_get_source_tag (simple) == g_file_load_contents_async)
Segmentation fault
listen does:
(listen.py:25694): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
sys:1: Warning: g_error_free: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(listen.py:25694): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_simple_async_result_set_from_error: assertion `error != NULL' failed
(listen.py:25694): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: (gfile.c:5244):IA__g_file_load_partial_contents_finish: runtime check failed: (g_simple_async_result_get_source_tag (simple) == g_file_load_contents_async)
/usr/bin/listen: line 1: 25694 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox python -OO /usr/lib/listen/listen.py $@
So it's bothering as all the time i want to burn something listen will crash.
Otherwise I'm using gnome-baker for burning, so it's ok.
but bothering.
This might help you.
If I can give u more information, just tell me (but I have to tell u: I'm not a big pro!)
