Bug Description

Here is the console output gathered while running 'gala --replace' in the terminal:

Window manager warning: Window 0x2a00069 (win3) sets an MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 1 x 1 and max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense.

[1] 10878 segmentation fault (core dumped) gala --replace

RubyMine is a Java program, BTW. It expects a reparenting WM, which Gala/mutter is not. Not sure if that's relevant to this crash, but I have been needing to use wmname with RubyMine and other Java apps so that their menus behave correctly. The above crash happens regardless of wmname usage.

Seems to affect other IDEs from the same publisher, such as WebStorm.

Changed in gala:

In case you got some time, could you test lp:~gala-dev/gala/ide-crash, it may resolve the problems. Otherwise, could you record a little screencast, just so that it's easier to reproduce for us?

Here's the screencast of Gala crashing. I'll try out the ide-crash branch in a few minutes.

The branch mentioned above by Cody exhibits the same crashing behavior as usual.

I can also confirm that Cody's branch has the same results for me.

@Dustin are you using java 1.7?
try switching to JDK 1.6 as @Christophe suggested here https://answers.launchpad.net/gala/+question/213987
