On newly created fresh account it doesn't crash.  But crash easy
enough reproduced by following steps:

    1. create new user
    2. create .xinitrc with only one line gnome-session
    3. start X11 by startx
    4. remove menu named "Menu Bar" (menu represented by "Gnome foot"
+ "Applications" + "Palces" + "System") from the top panel
    5. add menu named "Main menu" (menu represented by "Gnome foot"
icon only) to the top panel
    6. press Alt+F2

Seems like the key point is presence of "Main menu" ("Gnome foot"
only)  instead of default "Menu Bar" ("Gnome foot" + "Applications" +
"Palces" + "System") and, possible, launchers on panel.
