Crash when closing beep-media-player

[alp]

metacity crashes under these conditions:

Ubuntu dapper Fri Mar 24 22:17:43 GMT 2006

Start beep-media-player

Make playlist visible

Close beep-media-player

Start beep-media-player (playlist should now be visible at start)

Minimize main window (playlist window is not minimised, contrary to expected behaviour, and at this point it's impossible to unminimize the main player window until you close the playlist window)

Right click on beep-media-player's taskbar entry, click Close.

metacity crashes.

This is probably triggered by unusual or buggy NETWM use in beep-media-player, but in any case, metacity should not crash as it does now.

wm crash has been confirmed on #ubuntu-desktop by seb128 and zyga

I can only confirm this. Playlist and equalizer isn't minimized, and metacity crashes (restarts). Started happening a few days ago (maybe since 2.14.1-0ubuntu2).

Also, this might be similar or equal to: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334935
In my case, firefox 1.5 starts swallowing cpu and must be killed when metacity crashes.

Are people supposed to alter the "unconfirmed state" or are these settings (changable by anyone) only supposed to be changed by package maintainers?

I get it crashing in galeon too, and re-building metacity without the 010-transience-for-plugs.patch patch fixes my problem

fixed in 2.14.1.0-ubuntu3

If you mean fixed, as in "fixed - metacity doesn't crash anymore", then yes. It is fixed.

If you mean fixed as in "beep-media-players other windows are also minimized" then no. Or did they minimize on your machine? What version of beep-media-player are you using then?
