Disk utility crashes when run self test is performed in ubuntu 12.04

Disk utility crashes when run self test is performed in ubuntu 12.04. It also crashes when I check the Don't notify me of failure and also when I uncheck this. Any idea why this happens?

It crashes with "palimpsest crashed with SIGSEGV in g_hash_table_foreach()" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...y/+bug/1198508

I was able to solve this by adding gnome 3 ppa and updating the missing packages in 12.04..The disk utility software also was updated..Now I have Disk Utility at version 3.4.1..So lesson learnt is to upgrade gnome fully not only install it from software center..This inturn will update the missing packages and solve incompatibilities..

I added the ppa, and yes it now works. But it looks awful compared to the stock Ubuntu version and seems to lack functionality. It now starts a test without crashing, but gives an error if you try to abort the long test.
