chromium-browser crashed with signal 5 in gdk_x_error()

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

Attempted to drag a tab out of Chromium to create a new window. This leads to an unexpected browser crash. This is a deliberate duplicate of previous bugs, to enable me to upload a stacktrace with debug symbols easily.

Attaching a backtrace using --sync command-line option as requested at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=36151

Seems like the resolution for this is to either backport the GTK fix to 2.18.x or bring the base package up to 2.19 series. Doesn't look like a Chromium bug imo, if we're passed a bad xid to our own window then something lower-level has stuffed up.
