gnome-system-monitor crashes when Unity3D games are launched.

[Brandon]

Upon launching a game that runs the Unity Game Engine, gnome-system-monitor will SIGTRAP with the following output:

brandon@Desktop:~$ gnome-system-monitor

** (gnome-system-monitor:6342): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled.

(gnome-system-monitor:6342): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-system-monitor' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 68264 error_code 8 request_code 62 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same thing happens to Epiphany.

Seems to be a Cairo bug/issue?
