breaks x11 with some apps with nvidia drivers installed/in use

[Doug McMahon]

Test case *here* with nvidia mobile gpu (GeForce GT 755M
Install nvidia drivers (version 346.82) if not already
Switch to nvidia thru Prime Profiles, log out/in if needed
Try to open totem or cheese

What happens - segfaults - example totem
(totem:3097): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 330 error_code 8 request_code 154 (GLX) minor_code 31)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

If totem or cheese are started with this then they open correctly -
CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11 totem
or
CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11 cheese

(or CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11 in /etc/environment also temp resolves

Also affected on desktop with Totem & Firefox crashing with the same error as above.
card: gtx 750 driver: 352 (same problem with 346)

These two apps simply refuse to load, they crash at the very biginning

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Feedback

A few minutes back i've upgraded to :
gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0 (1.6.0-1) to 1.6.2-1
libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 (1.6.0-1) to 1.6.2-1

and now totem can be opened without getting error

but firefox still refuse to start, with this output: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

Feedback2

with these 2 files above (1.6.2-1) upgraded, now Files (nautilus) makes gnome-shell crashing each time to want to switch the opened nautilus to an other workplace: the command "move to a workplace down" firstly freeze then G-S crash and the session is closed, going back to the session login screen.

Looks like the apps using these 2 clutter files above needs to be rebuilt with.

Fixed with 1.6.2-1 clutter packages
