I have the same problem: sometimes bb segfaults when I switch workspaces. I use
a different theme, SimpleElegance, and XFree86 4.0.1.
I have not been able to find the exact conditions that triggers this bug, but I
promise it's there!
The applications that usually always run are bb, bbkeys, wmpop3, licq, netscape,
Eterm, xmms and kmail.
I wonder if it's connected to another bug I've seen: some times the window name
field of the toolbar is wrong when the workspace is empty. I've seen mixed "bad"
letters (like it was an invalid pointer), or the name of a window name in a
different workspace.
