Run with an aterm(or xterm) open on one of the workspaces: * Hammer the workspace change keyboard shortcut: Boom, crash after a few seconds of wild workspace-change west. Run with only mozilla: * Same as with the terminal ... and so on... leading me to the conclusion that the bug is probably not directly affiliated with any special app, just all apps that have a blackbox window. How to easily reproduce bug: * Assign keyboard shortcut to workspace change, like mod+1,2,3,4,5 or 6 to change between all workspaces. * Open up one or more regular windows (any app) * Change workspace quickly, it's very effective to press several of the 1,2,3... keys at the same time, this really makes blackbox crash fast in my system.
