Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Using OpenOffice.org Writer, when I create a footnote which is longer than, say, three lines and put the cursor over the note number (the one that links to the footer and is auto-generated into the page), the preview usually doesn't fit into the screen as it only takes one line (this behavior is filed in Bug #150937).
If this happens, the compositing will crash on my PC, restarting metacity with no visual effects at all.
Steps to reproduce this are:
1) Create a Writer document and put in the text a loong footnote
2) Hover the mouse cursor over the note number
