GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 123309
Metacity crashes with Wine/Crossover Office
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I've only seen this bug when running Outlook 2000 under Codeweaver's Crossover Office. I've run this program under Crossover with GNOME 2.0, 2.2, and previous versions of Metacity without problem. Starting with the 2.3 version, and now with the 2.4 official release, I get a crash on occasion while using Outlook. Occasionally when opening a window (not every time) metacity will crash and restart itself. Attaching a gdb instance to metacity, I get the following stack trace when Metacity segfaults. Thread 1 (Thread 16384 (LWP 24220))
+ Trace 40457
Any ideas? I would submit this to the Crossover folks, but it seems to be a bug instroduced in Metacity, not Crossover, as I've used their product for ages under Metacity in GNOME 2.2. I've noticed this behavior in Metacity 2.6.1 and 2.5.1. I do not have the problem in Metacity 2.4.55.
From the one line of stack trace, this looks like a dup of Bug 116923 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 116923 ***
