Actually, to get it to crash, I need to select an album in the Cover Art source, then cause at least the window to lose focus (Alt-Tab out, click on another app window, etc).

Output from rhythmbox -d is here since it is huge: https://bugs.launchpad.net/coverartbrowser/+bug/1286002/+attachment/4002955/+files/rb-debug.txt

Mike - thanks for your perseverance with this.

In some ways its good that you've managed to reproduce this in a repeatable manner.

However - the bad news is that myself cannot reproduce this with your instructions. Nothing in the traces you have provided indicate where in the code the issue is occurring. It is deep in the GDK stuff which to me looks like a graphics stack issue - Something obviously to do with focus & defocussing + keyboard interaction.

Try changing to artist view - does alt-tab produce the crash? If it still crashes then I'm not convinced this is a plugin issue per-say because the artist view does not have the same graphics code as the album-view ; the problem is a more fundamental graphics issue that should be reproducible with other apps.

Try changing the look of the album view - say from album info underneath the tile to within the tile

Other than that I've not really got much more to add but hoping that a kernel/graphics stack/driver update will resolve your issue in the future.
