gtk-window-decorator crashed with SIGSEGV in max_window_name_width()

[Etienne V.]

I was using the SmartSvn Java application.
When I closed this application, compiz decorator crashes.

Now I am using java 1.7.0_03 and it's the same.
When I stop SmartSVN, compiz decorator crashes.

I had also a compiz decorator crash when I hit F11 while viewing a photo with Shotwell

Hope that helps,
/Etienne

In order to workaround the bug, I restart compiz when it does not propose to restart by itself by typing the following command:
$ compiz --replace
