Bug Description

Binary package hint: mutter

This is even more serious than the previous problem. Earlier, mutter used to restart when an application was closed. That temporarily disappeared after one upgrade. Now it has comeback with the following addon!. If an application, (like gv, firefox, xpdf) is started from a terminal, when it is closed, the terminal also dies and mutter restarts.

If there is any specific information I could provide, please let me know what to do. Since there are no dbgsym pack for mutter, I am not sure what need to be done.
