Comment 26 for bug 30970

This crashes for me on Mint 9 (based on Lucid). I get the following output on the terminal:

The window appears, but is blank (the desktop shows through), and turns gray (from Compiz's unresponsive program detection). When I try to close the window, the dialog pops up asking if I want to force it to quit. If I do that, the window disappears, but the process continues to run. I cannot kill it, stop it, or end it through the System Monitor. It continues to run even if I quit the terminal I started it in. I must completely log out/reboot to get rid of it, otherwise it takes up 100% of my CPU, slowing down my computer.

The KDE version works fine, so it is apparently something related to the Gnome-specific elements.

I'm running Linux Mint 9 (basically Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid with a few extras added), with an ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200] GPU.
