Comment 0 for bug 1638153

This began when I upgraded to 16.10, it always happens when using Gimp under Gnome-flashback. Occasionally it happens with other apps too.

The quickest way to reproduce is to open up an image in Gimp, select all, copy and then exit. That's when Metacity crashes.

The bad part is, if I don't run 'metacity --replace' before launching gimp, it causes the entire session to quit and go back to the login screen. (I know why it does that, but there should be some better error handling there so people don't lose their work or any other in progress things, at least with just metactity crashed there's a way of restarting metacity and keeping the current session, as well as the ability to save work in other applications before restarting)
