happened for me when I started 'dia'

[Dave Stroud (bigdavesr)]

on my machine it happens while using wine. Every time the game shows aa pop up. You can restart meta city but game locks up.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

we still need a backtrace though.

for me it's happened when i run vlc

[Baskak (antoni-beksiak)]

encountered while launching jack rack

[Baskak (antoni-beksiak)]

and while launching vlc, repeatedly. the attachment might be of interest - it's an attempt to restart metacity from terminal after its crash.

[Laura Czajkowski (czajkowski)]

has happened for me as soon as I launch any program in this case thunderbird. It could well be it's a crash on start up as apport appears and I click report issue and this bug appeared a the same time. running nattay beta

[Jeffrey Tees (jeff-tees)]

Occurred when I attempted to run vlc - which hasn't worked since I upgraded to 11.10. I try it every time I update, on gnome-shell it just comes up weird and unusable, when I run it in unity I get this error instead.
