Public bug reported:
When pressing alt-tab, the unity sometimes quits (looks like some segfault). It
started happening
maybe a month ago, and it now happens probably at least once a day.
It helps to go to the text terminal (ctrl-alt-f2), and type "unity --reset",
then go back (ctrl-alt-f7).
Then typing alt-tab segfaults again, so before doing anything, the computer
needs to be restarted.
Unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce it, apart from just working
until it fails.
Any ideas how to fix this? This bug makes Ubuntu pretty much unusable.
