Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2012-03-24 23:37:25 UTC 
How to reproduce it: I haven't figure it out yet but it seems that long periods of inactivity triggers it (or maybe it is observation biased and it is not connected to user activity)

Lack of gjs_dumpstack is because it is from coredump.

Yep, we've seen this before. A stale pointer gets added to the redraw queue, and we have no idea why.
Comment 2 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-03-25 15:18:46 UTC 
If anybody can come up with a solid reproducer, then please let us know.
