Reproducible crash in 0.6.1.5

[Dougie Nisbet <dougie highmoor co uk>]

I've had a look through the bugs and I'm not sure if this is logged or 
not. I always get the CRITICAL messages regardless.
I'm happy to log it or gather more info as required. I've been getting 
frequent crashes in 0.6.1.5 and I think I've managed to track it down 
and reproduce it.

I am running Ubuntu version 9.10

The crash happens when I initiate a tag search using "/" while browsing. 
If I search for a tag in this way, then click on the 'X' in the upper 
right of the browse window to clear the successful search, f-spot 
crashes. The crash happens at the line:
   Marshaling delete_text signal

If I do the SAME tag search by clicking on the icons in the left hand 
tag pane, then clear the search by clicking on the X, there is no crash.

I've run the program again with the debug option and the output is 
around 700 lines but I've pasted the bit around the crash below:
