Oh, sorry, I knew I forgot something. This happened with totem (tried
to play a file and crashed) and Opera (crashed due to the
acrobat-reader-plugin, I think). I tested it with Sylpheed-Claws and
other window managers like icewm and Enlightenment - they didn't
crash.

Additionally, "killall -9 metacity" resolves the problem when you
connect remotely using SSH.

Greetings,

PS: I send several mails to 427406 at bugs.debian.org, but they don't
seem to have reached the BTS and thus don't show up on the web site.
Dunno why. :(
