Backtrace of the thunar problem

I'm running Voyager(Xubuntu) Linux 12.10 x64.
Thunar crashes either from the terminal or from menu when I try to navigate through folders and/or open files. (segmentation fault)
I've added thunar/xfce 4.12 ppa (xubuntu-dev) to install the most fresh build of thunar (1.5.3) but it didn't help. 
I've attached a backtrace.
Thanks

Could you try with "LANG=C thunar". It looks like some translations are broken.

Unfortunately, it crashes again, without the "Segmantation Fault" error message.

Bug 9593 seems to be a crash because of a broken string as well.

I don't know what was the problem before and crashed, now it works
with "LANG=C thunar". I'll throughout test it and I'll post the results.

Well, the first time I open thunar with "LANG=C thunar" it crashes after a few clicks. All the other calls are successful.

If thunar is running in deamon mode (started by the session manager during login), running "LANG=C thunar" from the terminal will spawn a new window over dbus (and you see the proces in the terminal exit). Therefore you need to run thunar -q first, to exit the daemon.

What is normally your language (output of 'locale')?

I don't run thunar in deamon mode. I run it from terminal after login.
The output of the locale:
 
$locale
LANG=el_GR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=el:en
LC_CTYPE="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Ok. well the other bug (#9593) was also the el_GR translation, which I could reproduce on my system too and was a mistake in the translation.
So I'm going to mark this as fixed.
