backtrace

The patch for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658228 , which I tried as a potential fix for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657869 , seems to make Shell very crash-y for me. I applied the patch alone to mutter 3.1.90.1. After that, it seems that Shell crashes shortly after startup, then again any time I drag a Firefox window from my left screen to my right screen. It appears to be a segfault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
cogl_object_unref (object=0x0) at ./cogl-object.c:61
61	  if (--obj->ref_count < 1)

I'll attach the full gdb backtrace.

I believe Jasper fixed this shortly after:

yeah, indeed, that fixed it.
