metacity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch()

[pasqoo]

Binary package hint: metacity

In gconf-editor I've enabled the compositing (/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager), and all worked. Even in the same window (I didn't close it)... I decided to switch it off, and then metacity crashed (and restarted automatically, with compositing_manager correctly disabled)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

[pasqoo (pasqoo)]

yes, the problem still exists for me, i don't know if other users has the same problem.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

could you try the same with intrepid or jaunty? i cannot reproduce this issue there, thanks.

[pasqoo (pasqoo)]

With Intrepid the bug doesn't exist for me. No more crash :)
Good work, bye.

closing since that works correctly in intrepid
