Is that from the tarball or git?  There's a patch in git that cut down the  
frequency of those errors hugely for me, although it didn't completely  
eliminate them.  I'm currently using git + the second patch  
<URL:http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=136383&action=view> on  
the bug <URL:http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580230>, and  
haven't had the error in a while (a week? two weeks?).

As to collecting data: generally, stack traces are helpful, but...that  
doesn't seem to be the case with this one--the error usually seems to  
happen in a display-update callback, and the trace doesn't contain the  
call that triggered the update.  But if you can figure out what's going on  
when you get the error, that would probably be the most useful info.

Best,

Peter
