as you cannot reproduce, we are now waiting for a duplicate before looking closer.

Like said earlier:
Run firefox 3, did a bit of browsing then left it open in the background.
Whilst working in CompizConfig Settings, switched back to firefox, then it crashed.
Cannot reproduce unfortunately.

Hint: System originally at Ubuntu version 6.xx (04?), added Beryl in 7.xx and the system feels a bit "dirty" at the moment whith X crashing every time i login into X first time, second time it always works.

Made Compiz work whith blanking out LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I had the same crash today (on jaunty). I'm using metacity with its compositor.
Sometimes metacity develops a problem where it doesn't display the panel and awn any more.
I restart it by pressing Alt-F2 and running "metacity --replace". This involves compositing
being switched off and on again, which explains why gtk_window_on_composited_changed
turns up in the stack trace.

It seems firefox doesn't always handle compositing being switched on or off well.
