compiz crashes somtimes with java application tv-browser

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer]

Binary package hint: compiz

compiz in natty/unity crashes sometimes when the java application tv-browser pops up windows indicating start of of favorite programs in an inactive destop. This error exists since i use natty/unity/compiz.

Here is part of .xsession-error:
** (<unknown>:1512): WARNING **: Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist

** (<unknown>:1512): WARNING **: Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist

(unity-window-decorator:1692): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault
I found until now no method to reproduce the crash in a reliable way (but it happens often) and tv-browser popups behave somewhat special.: when closing the popups the tv-browser main window gets the top position.

compiz version: 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty1
unity version: Architecture: amd64 Version: 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1

workaround: restart compiz with --replace

sometimes java popup windows of tv-browser are placed even in the global menu area. They can be moved in allowed areas by holding down the alt key and dragging with the mouse.

No problems with java/tv-browser in unity-2d (no problems at all with unity-2d from ist daily ppa, i.e. no problems with applicatins in the systray).
