Segmentation fault in mate-display properties when changing resolution

[prateeksriv]

I have a dual monitor setup. When I try to increase resolution of secondary monitor, I get a segfault.
I do not have a binary with symbols, so I could not get a proper backtrace. But here it is:

Are you able to provide backtrace with debug symbols?

[prateeksriv]

I could provide a backtrace if I know where to find the binary with debug symbols included.
I am currently unable to do a build from source.

[stefano-k]

Which distribution are you using?

[prateeksriv]

I am sorry. I had planned on providing my computer information, somehow I missed pasting that information.
I was using the following:
OS: Linux Mint 16 ( mate variant, of-course).
Processor: Intel Centrino
Graphics Card: Intel built-in
( I am currently away from the computer, I can provide the exact details in few hours.)

[stefano-k]

Install mate-control-center-dbg package
