Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had the same issue when switching to a different user while leaving the original one logged in. The crash report appeared after logging in as the new user.

Sorry I should have said running Oneiric Beta, unity-2d 4.8.0-0ubuntu1

[Colin Law (colin-law)]

I am a bit confused by this, I saw the problem running 4.8.0-0ubuntu1. This bug is marked as a dup of bug #845773, which has the comment "Was a dup of #846836" which is marked as fixed in 4.8.0-0ubuntu1, which is the version I was running. Something does not add up.
