Description Lasse Schuirmann 2015-04-27 10:39:38 UTC 
What I did:

 * Have a GNOME session on wayland.
 * Run evince on a PDF
 * Fiddle around with the zoom levels

What happened:

The whole GNOME session just stopped and it threw me into GDM, needed to relogin.

Reproducibility:

I was not able to reproduce this a second time yet and don't have the time to do elaborate experiments.

It seems a bug in Wayland.  An application cannot just make an illegal call and crash a session.

I'd be glad if you could ping the people who care/are responsible or discard this report since I'm not really able to provide more information :/

I think this is a dup of #719400
