Description Loïc Minier 2006-02-11 15:47:32 UTC 
Hi,

Johannes Berg reported in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/343336 that metacity segfaults when one removes a desktop with windows:
"When, using the workspace switcher preferences, I reduce the number of
workspaces so that a workspace is removed that still contains windows,
metacity segfaults. By tricks (apparently one cannot switch out of X when
metacity has segfaulted and hangs inside gdb because all keyboard events
go to metacity! don't try!) with chvt(1) I was able to get this segfault
inside gdb:

Window manager warning: Log level 8: meta_workspace_add_window: assertion `window->workspace == NULL' failed

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

+ Trace 66095

Thread 805437280 (LWP 4118)

  • #0 meta_workspace_relocate_windows
  • #1 meta_workspace_get_work_area_for_xinerama
  • #2 meta_window_get_work_area_for_xinerama
  • #3 meta_window_constrain
  • #4 meta_window_refresh_resize_popup
  • #5 meta_window_move_resize_now
  • #6 meta_window_move_resize_now 
...

Even though there are no symbols this hopefully helps.
