I confirm Cinar's report that with ubuntu Hardy, you can click here to crash X

For some reason, this web page upsets something....firefox...compiz...gdm...xorg...something...

Why has the title been edited to say this say this bug is not in Ubuntu?
The ubuntu product includes this collection of software and default configuration settings... people expect to be able to click on web pages
without causing a desktop crash and, for a desktop release, it should work reliably to view web pages without further tweaking.... so I'd call it a bug.

Cinar said you needed to scroll the page. I found clicking on the site above to be sufficient to crash X.
