Bug Description

Binary package hint: emerald

This crash happens quite often. It seems to happen a little while after a heavy load on the windowing system, but this might be just coincidence. It is not, like other bugs, related to window-switching or downloading themes. It can happen suddenly while I am surfing or reading e-mail.

Emerald crashing means all window decorations disappear, but X and compiz works perfectly otherwise.
