Loading Inkscape causes crash in: compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in PrivateWindow::processMap()

[Paul Sladen]

Binary package hint: unity

This has been happening for about 3-4 days now, but I've now nailed it down to simply:

  1. Execute: inkscape `find -name \*.png | head -n1`
  2. Click [Okay]
  3. Unity/Compiz crashes. If you're lucky it restarts too.

the issue is a duplicate and should be fixed in https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/compiz/trunk with r2746, the update is going to be uploaded in natty after beta2
