compiz crashed on initial load of Java Citrix Client/Inkscape in PrivateWindow::processMap()

[Ralph Taylor]

Binary package hint: unity

Using Chromium & OpenJDK/Iced Tea plugin I logged into my employers Citrix gateway to launch a full screen desktop session. On attempting to load this session Compiz crashed and the desktop session did not load

Subsequent attempts to log into the Citrix desktop were successful.

This happened to me but not with Citrix, but with Inkscape - I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/759134 which Launchpad tells me is a bug of this.

@Rick: is it a typo you set it to Fix Committed? I asked yesterday Sam to have a look at it but I don't think it's already fixed.

Will confirm with him.

Looked at trunk, it has been merged yesterday evening with other fixes, nice. Setting the right status

Just a note- the same crash occurred when using GNOME 2.32 "classic." When I tried it with Classic and effects disabled, Oregano did what it was supposed to do. In essence, it's not Unity-specific, it just crashes Compiz if that is active, no matter the instance.
